10 September - Gibraltar National Day

 


Gibraltar National Day is a public holiday celebrated annually on September 10th in Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. This day marks the anniversary of a 1967 referendum in which Gibraltarians voted overwhelmingly to remain under British sovereignty rather than becoming part of Spain.

The referendum was a significant moment in Gibraltar's history, as it confirmed the strong desire of its people to maintain their British ties. Prior to this, Gibraltar had faced various territorial disputes between the United Kingdom and Spain.

On Gibraltar National Day, the people of Gibraltar celebrate their British identity and their right to self-determination. The day is marked by various events and activities

Gibraltar National Day is a time for Gibraltarians to come together to reaffirm their British identity and their commitment to remaining part of the United Kingdom. It is a day of unity and pride for the people of Gibraltar and serves as a reminder of their right to self-determination.
