"Holidays and celebrations in the UK"

The traditions of the British are largely determined by the climate and geographical location of the country. The Nordic character encourages them to restrain their own feelings and emotions, but this does not indicate isolation and unfriendliness.Let the whole world be amazed at the illogic, strangeness, obsolescence of some indisputable British traditions, the indigenous people will not even think about modernizing them or changing in the name of compliance with world standards. Holidays and traditions of Great Britain are a constant, a matter of honor and pride in their origin.The English nation was formed in the process of displacement of those peoples who invaded the British Isles from the European subcontinent. In the UK, more than in any other European country, there is a commitment to the traditions, everyday life, and habits that have been established from time immemorial. This affects many aspects of the material and spiritual culture of the population.Very often they talk about English conservatism, the commitment of the British to traditions is manifested not only in politics, but literally at every step, in the most everyday life. In such an economically developed country as the United Kingdom, the old folk clothes that have gone out of everyday use have long been forgotten.
But in solemn occasions, medieval attire is used. Vintage costumes are worn by members of the royal family during the coronation and by parliamentary officials on the opening day of the session. Ancient ceremonies and customs accompany all the activities of the English Parliament – one of the oldest legislative institutions in Europe. The King and Queen go to the opening of parliament in a ceremonial carriage drawn by four gray horses, accompanied by an escort of horse guards. Peers in purple robes trimmed with ermine are waiting for them in the House of Lords. The session of Parliament begins with the throne speech of the king.Traditions are especially steadfastly preserved in the public life of the peoples of the British Isles. Traditions are, first of all, an established order of what and when you can doInitially, you should separate the official UK weekends and holidays. Not every celebration will be a day off, and not every weekend is a holiday. In other things, there are also a number of celebrations in Russia that we are happy to celebrate, although the state does not allow us to take a break from work
