I agree rubysong
We do have moving events here; Remembrance Day services and the Festival of Remembrance; we recently had a very large Gallipoli service in our town. People wearing their poppies or sprigs of rosemary and quietly remembering loved ones who have fallen for our freedom.
One thing we did notice when we had the Gallipoli service recently - we were sent two small wooden crosses each inscribed with a moving verse from an Australian school child, with the request that we put them, if possible, on a memorial to an Australian soldier; we were able to do this as there is one in our local church.
Besides that, we have all the pageantry that comes with having a Royal Family - which some would like to do away with I know, with the danger that perhaps we would end up with something rather more like the American version of patriotism. I for one much prefer our more thoughtful, solemn, moving events, with some joyful occasions such as the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, and I am sure there are many Americans who envy us that.
