Some questions on grammar
1. Is this sentence correct? Why not delete the preposition "on" and write as : Which day was your last anniversary?
On which day was your last anniversary?
2. I thought the uses of the verbs "do" and "are" are very different and leave very little room for confusion but are these sentences valid? Their meaning seems to be slightly different though.
Do you feel like a king?
Are you feeling like a king?
On which day was your last anniversary?

With all due respect, I know the collocated words "fall on" is perfectly acceptable in the context you had it on/in?? But to use it to refer to the date or day of a person's anniversary gives a rather worn-out impression on the occasion marked as the special day worthy of your remembrance.

Thank you.
Could I make the questions out the simple examples you gave like this?
I feel sick -- Do you feel sick?
I am feeling sick -- Are you feeling sick?
And both would convey the approximately (not that I am measuring anything) the same meaning?
