Sorry Dudette but the :thumbs: goes to Penelope
Victoria day is the celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday on May 24, 1819, and is observed the Monday before May 25. When the queen died in 1901 and the throne was assumed by King Edward VII, his birthday was celebrated on Victoria Day, even though he was born in November. Celebrating one's birthday on a predecessor's birthday was a common custom during that time.
The World Cup is the most watched sporting event in the world.
