This riddle is to pay my respects to one of the greatest persons ever to have lived on earth.
" I was born on a day , which is not a holiday ,
But still a day where people have loads of fun.
My followers though could not bear the thought ,
And hence incremented my birthdate by one.
I was the one responsible for providing a clue ,
To one of the dark secrets inside man .
I lived in the land which has been ruled by a queen ,
And from whence has sprouted the Barmy Army of great renown."
Who am I?
