Here is your British Empire "fact of the day":<br>
<font color="#000099">"Each Empire Day, millions of school children
from all walks of life across the length and breadth of the
British Empire would typically salute the union flag and sing
patriotic songs like <em>Jerusalem</em> and <em>God Save the
Queen</em>. They would hear inspirational speeches and listen to
tales of ‘daring do’ from across the Empire, stories that included
such heroes as Clive of India, Wolfe of Québec and ‘Chinese
Gordon’ of Khartoum. But of course the real highlight of the day
for the children was that they were let of school early in order
to take part in the thousands of marches, maypole dances, concerts
and parties that celebrated the event.</font><font color="#000099">"</font><br>
