70 vessel flotilla travelling up the estuary here in Aberdyfi, got my vantage point for pics chosen already, should be quite a spectacle. Village barbecue on the beach as well, looking forward to the day.

Village picnic here on the common. The 50th was a huge marquee going on until the early hours, no complaints because the whole village and outlying posts were there. I had to be the one sober marshal that day/ evening so I was able to observe. What struck me is that firstly it was a wonderful opportunity to bring the whole community together and secondly how well that community gelled. It's still evident today my new neighbours have been here around 4 years and made the same point a few months back.
It's a shame we don't have a National Day to celebrate. I remember being in Finland in the 90s and being invited to the city hall meal in a city of around 100,000 people. We left to walk across the city just after eleven with the whole town still in full flow. I always think the lack of a National Day is a missed opportunity to bring people together.

English national day or British national Day. The latter would be controversial because of the amount of separatism and the former would turn ugly. The Americans have Independence Day and the French Bastille Day - but both are significant events in their history. The Irish have St Patrick - but are still a fundamentally religious society - but there is no patron saint of Britain anyway. I'm not particularly nationalistic but I'm not trying to be antagonistic either - just curious as to what may be considered a significant day that most of the population could get behind emotionally and peacefully rather than it just being an artificial construct or something that could be construed as sticking two fingers up to someone else (The Germans/French/EU - delete as applicable) which isn't very nice? NB the Dutch do have 'King's Day' - which might be a consideration - though they do have a lower key monarchy. May be a trade off to get republicans on side - Queen's Day in return for a much slimmed down monarchy and a ditching of the honours system and House of Lords.

Eswatini has some kind of dancing party every year in honour of their Monarchy. Whilst I think dancing is the most pointless thing on the planet after Decaf coffee and garden centres , am sure the Queen would like watching folk getting down to Baltimora and Haircut 100 and the other posters of the current day.

I'll just enjoy the extra two days off work and go for a pint knowing I haven't got to get up. Not fussed if there's bunting on the bar or not.

It should be the day when that England fan fired a firework out of his arse. If that can't he arranged, then it should be either Pat Sharp's birthday, the date when Tim Henman twatted a tennis ball at a ballboy, the day when Paul McCartney released the best song ever made in Dance Tonight, or the day when British Bulldog defeated Brett Hart at Wembley.
