Here is a Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Day
In honour (I don't care what Spellcheck says, that's NOT spelled wrong!) of Queen Victoria's 196th birthday (May 24, 1819), I invite everyone to show something philatelically interesting related to Victoria.
Here's a start that I picked up this week at the stamp club:

Happy Victoria Day!
Honour is the "French Way" 
I think. 'Mericans spell it "Honor" We are still rebels at heart
and must be different, like driving on the other side of the road. 
Personally I will celebrate ANY holiday because it's an excuse to eat a lot of food.

The famous "Chalon portrait". After which the Perkins Bacon souvenir sheet above was modeled, as well as the classic "Chalon heads":
Happy birthday Vickie!

I refer to the Canadian Victoria "Jubes" on this page. Perhaps another member could post an image of one of those? Or all of them?

I'm in Ottawa/Gatineau for the week and plan to grab another Jubilee to add to my slowly growing Jubilee collection. What better way to celebrate the holiday?

I had a chance to drool over the 12d black shown above - the real deal at the postal museum. Oh how I wish I could have gotten cost to the glass casing! It's really exciting for me since I had that chance to transcribe that article on the finding of the 12 pence that was thrown out the window.

For all you non-Canadians out there, the Monday before May 25th is a federal holiday, and our traditional kick-off to summer (long lines of traffic heading for cottage country!)
