Empire Day was on 24th May as this was Queen Victoria's birthdate in 1819.
I still celebrate it - along with St George's Day, Trafalgar Day, VE Day, VJ Day, Waterloo Day, 1966 World Cup Day and most other days of the year.

My daughter was born on 24th May, Empire Day in 1960, but wasn't taught
anything about it at school. Seems a pity that old habits die along the
years.
