What did you do for St George's Day? Apparently the English are the least patriotic nation in England and one in three people didn't know it was St George's Day on April 23rd. On the other hand I noticed English flags flying this year that I'd not noticed before. So whereas some enjoy deriding our nations past achievements, and suspect it might be racist to be proud of Old Blighty, others are reacting against political correctness and flying the flag.
In the village the newly rescued Sun Inn held a weekend of St George's festivities complete with handsome young George on his charger and a rather less impressive bright red dragon.
A band and clog dancers completed the procession down to the pub where the sun shone on the revels.
