The Queen's Birthday
Despite, Queen Elizabeth's actual birthday being on April 21, it is not publicly celebrated until the 2nd weekend in June. This double birthday tradition was started by King George II in 1748. King George wanted good weather for his birthday parade, but because he was born in November (not known in the UK for it's good weather) he created a public holiday in June and Monarchs have continued the tradition. HISTORY will celebrate the Queen's birthday long weekend with The Making of The Queen at 2:30pm and The Queens Coronation in Colour at 6.30pm, both on June 10.
