Overview
The United Kingdom has no single national holiday. It has a number of days of celebration which go largely uncelebrated, and others which are associated with the constituent countries of the UK. The latter category includes St George's Day in England, St Andrew's Day in Scotland, St Patrick's Day in Northern Ireland and St David's Day in Wales.
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.
