===County day===
Middlesex Day is celebrated each year on 16 May. This commemorates the actions of the [[57th (West Middlesex) Regiment]] in 1811, at the [[Battle of Albuera]], during the [[Peninsular War]]. 
During the battle, [[William Inglis (British Army officer)|Lieutenant-Colonel William Inglis]], despite his injuries, refused to retire from the battle but remained with the regimental colours, encouraging his men with the words "Die hard 57th, die hard!" as they came under intense pressure from a French attack. The regiment held and the battle was won. The 'Die Hards' subsequently became the West Middlesex's regimental nickname and the phrase [[Die hard (phrase)|Die Hard]] entered the language. In 2003, an early day motion in the House of Commons noted the celebration of 16 May, the anniversary of Albuhera, as Middlesex Day.<ref>Randall J., [https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/22809/middlesex-day Early Day Motion 13 May 2003].
