Victoria Day and Eagles

Victoria Day, the third Monday in May, marks the unofficial start of summer for many Canadians. Weekend cottages are opened after a long winter, gardens are planted, and young people camp and attend the first music festivals of summer. Fireworks, generally illegal in Canada, are used to celebrate this first long weekend of the summer season. The holiday is commonly referred to in Canadian-slang as May two-four; the two-four referencing twenty-four, the number of cans or bottle of beer in a Canadian case of beer.
It is the day used to celebrate both the current monarch of Canada, and Queen Victoria, a tradition that can be traced back to settlers in then Upper Canada saluting the Queen in 1854. Alexandrina Victoria was born in London, England on May 24, 1819. She took the throne in 1837 and ruled for almost 64 years, the longest ruling monarch in British history. She is the great-great-grandmother of current British queen, Elizabeth II, and the great-great-great-grandmother of princes William and Harry, second and third in the line of succession for the British throne, respectively. Victoria oversaw a period in history when Britain became a great world power. Artistic endeavors, industrial developments and the creation of the British Empire were seen under Victoria's rule, a period now referred to as the Victorian Era.  Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert, in 1840. Albert became not only her companion but a political advisor. The pair produced nine children, many of who would marry into other European royal families. Victoria and Albert are sometimes called the Grandmother and Grandfather of Europe. Albert died of typhoid fever in 1861 at the age of 42. Victoria was heart-broken and went into a deep period of mourning, retreating from public life and wearing black for the remainder of her life. She wore white only once, to her diamond jubilee, celebrating her 60 years on the throne. Albert died of typhoid fever in 1861 at the age of 42.
