May 1st was an important day in the Middle

Ages, the celebration of summer’s beginning. For that day people decorated houses and streets with branches of trees and flowers. In the very early morning young girls went to the fields and washed their faces with dew. They believed this made them beautiful for a year after that. Also on May Day the young men of each village tried to win prizes with their bows and arrows. People put a striped maypole decorated with flowers and danced round it. Some English villages still have maypole dancing on May 1st.

The Queen is the only person in Britain with two

birthdays. Her real birthday is on April 21st, but she has an “official” birthday, too. That’s on the second Saturday in June. And on the Queen’s official birthday, there is a traditional ceremony called the Trooping of the Colour. It’s a big parade with brass bands and hundreds of soldiers at Horse Guards’ Parade in London. The Queen’s soldiers, the Guards, accompany her. At the front of Parade is the flag or “colour”. The Guards are trooping the colour. Thousands of Londoners and visitors watch Horse Guards’ Parade. And millions of people at home watch it on TV.

Here’s a very different royal tradition. On the river Thames there

are hundreds of swans. A lot of these beautiful white birds belong, traditionally, to the King or Queen. In July the young swans on the Thames are about two mounts old. Then the Queen’s swan keeper goes, in a boat, from London Bridge to Henley. He looks at all the young swans and marks the royal ones. The name of this custom is Swan Upping.

In summer Scottish people traditionally meet together for competitions called

Highland Games. After Queen Victoria visited the games at Braemar in 1848, the Braemar games became the most famous tradition in Scotland. Today thousands of visitors come to see sports like tossing the caber (when a tall pole is thrown into the air as a test of strength) or throwing the hammer. The Games always include Scottish dancing and bagpipe music.

the country people build wood fires, or “bonfires”, in their gardens. On top of each bonfire is a guy. That is a figure of Guy Fawkes. He was one of a band of conspirators who wanted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I and his ministers. However the plot failed, Fawkes was caught on the 5th of November 1605.

The Shetland Islands are north of Scotland. In the ninth

century the Vikings from Norway came to the Shetlands. They came to Britain in ships and took away gold, animals and sometimes people.
Now, 1000 years later, people in the Shetlands remember the Vikings with the festival, which they call “Up-Helly-Aa”. Every winter people of Zerwick, the capital of the Shetlands Islands, make a model of a Viking longship with the head of a dragon at the front. Then, on Up-Helly-Aa night in January, the Shetlanders dress in Viking costumers and carry the ship through the town to the sea and burn it there. The festival is a party for the people of the Shetland Islands.

Originally, carols were songs performed with dancing at Christmas and

other festivals. They were often sung outside houses by fantastically-dressed actors called Mummers. Many of today’s carols have been written since the 19th century as Christmas hymns celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
