What, if anything, is observed and/or celebrated to commemorate this event in the UK? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1588
I celebrate that everyday, even though I am British and live in a crappy lifeless country with rubbish weather, at least I'm not Spanish.
People dressed as Chris Farley, roaming the streets, taking their shirts off? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112508/
Nothing unfortunately. Britain has soo much history, if we were to celebrate every event, nothing would get done. So the powers that be choose not to celebrate. We're a bunch of party poopers here. Shame really cos we have alot to take pride in.
