Primrose Day is observed in the United Kingdom every April 19 to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Benjamin Disraeli, who served as Prime Minister twice. Disraeli, influential in the establishment of the modern Conservative party, passed away on April 19, 1881. His funeral was private due to concerns about large crowds, and Queen Victoria sent a wreath of primroses, his favorite flower, to the service. Although not an official holiday, the day serves as an occasion to honor Disraeli, with some individuals wearing primroses in tribute. Additionally, the statue of Disraeli in Parliament Square, London, is sometimes adorned with primroses to mark the observance.
