That doesn't have any historical meaning, though, does it? I think they (Yorkshire Forward or some group like that) just picked a day because they thought we ought to have a celebration of Yorkshire.

Quote:
It was celebrated in 1975, by the Yorkshire Ridings Society, initially in Beverley, as "protest movement against the Local Government re-organisation of 1974", The date alludes to the Battle of Minden, and also the anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire in 1834, for which a Yorkshire MP, William Wilberforce, had campaigned
