Waterloo Day

Waterloo Day

Waterloo Day is 18 June, the date of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. It is remembered and celebrated each year by certain regiments of the British Army, in the same way that the Royal Navy celebrates Trafalgar Day (21 October).

April 6 is Waterloo Day for fans of the Swedish group ABBA, because on April 6, 1974 in Brighton, England, ABBA wins the nineteenth Eurovision Song Contest for Sweden singing "Waterloo".
