Really? We have a Queen's Birthday public holiday here in Australia. And just to make things more confusing, it is on a different day of the year in each state, none of which is her actual birthday. In Western Australia, we celebrate it on the Monday after the AFL Grand Final (Aussie rules football).
Quebbster said: The Queen seems to be an accomodating woman who lets people celebrate her birthday whenever they feel is appropriate. Here in Sweden I mostly notice royal birthdays because they put small flags on the buses. If I don't know why it's a flag day, it's probably because of the royal family somehow. We don't really celebrate the King's birthday (it's Walpurgis night which is celebrated for different reasons) but the Crown Princess' birthday in July is quite a big deal. Not "federal holiday" big, but there's a televised celebration.

Or do you walk around all day saying "That President sure is swell, I'm glad we elected him!"...possibly not for some in current circumstances...We don't have an actual holiday for the Queen's birthday (and she has 2 which is confusing enough), we just wonder what demon she made a pack with to still be ruling the country, so this intrigues me.Thanksgiving is turkey and shopping and 4th of July is fireworks and barbecues, is there anything special for the day of the Prez?
