Small wonder, then, that many children were heard to relate "It isn‘t fair. We‘re getting ‘gyped‘. We should have had a holiday on Friday the 23rd, for Saturday is a holiday anyway, so that isn‘t giving us one this year at all." For many years, yes, for generaâ€" tions, the 24th of May has been celebrated as a day of reverence in honour of the late Queen Victoria. Originally the 24th was called Vicâ€" toria Day or the Queen‘s Birthday, but of late years it has been desigâ€" rated and become more commonly known as Empire Day. _ Empire Day was proclaimed not only a holiday but a real celebraâ€" tion in loving remembrance of the birthday of a Queen who was one of our British Empire‘s most reâ€" spected and beloved monarchs.
