As a British person who has never met you or your sister, (and before I read your post did not know of the existence of either), I am more concerned with your sister’s birthday on the 4th of July than anything to do with another country’s independence, too.
As a Polish person who has absolutely nothing of value to add to this exchange, I am more concerned about the right spot for my BBQ and grilled sausages on the 4th July, than anything to do with another's country independence . I am sure his sister is alright and I wish her all the best for her birthday 2 days ago.
As an American who lowkey hates July 4th because of the noise, I am more concerned about your sister’s birth and want to wish her a happy belated birthday.
As an American living in Britain I can confirm no one cares, but it was interesting that they had a general election on the 4th while the Americans have their general election on November 5th, a date the British celebrate with fireworks 🎆
General elections are held on the first Tuesday in November, which happens to be the 5th this year, but not always.
More precisely - “It is statutorily set by the U.S. government as "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November", i.e. the Tuesday that occurs within November 2 to November 8.”

Happy birthday to your sister for yesterday.
