2 The British Queen has two birthdays – one in April and one in June. The Queen’s real [‘rɪəl] birthday is on 21st April. She was born in 1926. On the day of her real birthday there is a gun salute¹ at 12 o’clock in Hyde Park, London, and at 1 o’clock in the afternoon at the Tower of London².

In 1805 people began to celebrate the King’s or the Queen’s birthday publicly [‘pʌblɪklɪ] in summer, when the weather is better than in spring. It is on the second Satur-day in June. There is the Queen’s Birthday Parade in Lon-don. It is a military [‘mɪlɪt(ə)rɪ] parade. Thousands of people come to watch it.

They celebrate the Queen’s Birthday in other countries, too – in Australia [ɒ’streɪlɪə], New Zealand [,nju: ‘zi:l(ə)nd] and Canada [‘kænədə].

3 On this day people celebrate romantic [rəʊ’mæntɪk] love. They give presents to the people they love – flowers, often red roses, or heart-shaped³ chocolates and cakes. In the evening they decorate their houses with heart-shaped balloons, light candles and have dinner. On this day people send a lot of cards to the people they love: to their friends, mothers, brothers and sisters, parents and teachers. They wish them happiness and love.
