British National Day is a proposed official national day for the United Kingdom and a celebration of Britishness. Currently the UK has no single official national day, although the Queen's Official Birthday is used for this purpose in some contexts. Recently, this suggestion has been associated with one of its main supporters, former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.〔Wikinews:Gordon Brown calls for national day to celebrate 'Britishness'〕 ==Overview== Britain has no unique national day. It has a number of days of celebration which go largely uncelebrated, and others which are associated with the constituent countries of Britain. The latter category includes St George's Day in England, St Andrew's Day in Scotland, St David's Day in Wales and St Patrick's Day in Northern Ireland. At present, the Queen's Official Birthday is marked as a ''de facto'' national day by British diplomatic missions overseas〔 but not in the UK itself. Other days which could be seen as taking the form of a British national day in recent years, albeit not annual events, would be the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Similar ideals to those put forward for a British national holiday led in 2006 to the creation of a Veteran's Day in the UK. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「British National Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
