Sette Giugno

After the glorious events of the past few days for HM Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee I changed the flag to the Maltese National Flag.

Today is Sette Giugno (from Italian for "Seventh June" and it is a Maltese national holiday celebrated annually on 7 June. It commemorates events which occurred on that day in 1919 when, following a series of riots by the Maltese population, British troops fired into the crowd, killing four.

So it's not a celebration, more of a memorial day.
