By shamrock, leek and thistle
We know the Celtic tribes,
Saints Andrew, Patrick, David,
They have their several scribes.
In Gaelic, Erse and Cymric
They chant their patrons' praise,
And wear with pride their emblems
Upon the festive days.
But English on St. George’s Day
Do seldom wear the Rose,
Though still in many an English heart
The ancient passion glows.
The red cross flies for Shakespeare,
The red cross flies for George,
While yet the soul of England
Is hammered on the forge;
But when the soul of England
Arise from present gloom,
That Rose in resurrection
Shall blaze in brighter bloom.
On this St. George’s Day, then,
That saw our Shakespeare born,
The Rose is rooted in our hearts -
And we can bear the thorn.

John, WOW, Although I'm not an admirer of Bill Spokeshave, I do like this. Why is it we English put up with all the other Saint's days being celebrated but we do nothing for our own? Perhaps it's all to do with the stiff upper lip and all that. 
Here for a good time not a long time!!

We've had St George's day celebrations in St George's Square in the centre of Luton for years! Others are catching up now! Happy St George's day!

That's probably because nobody wants to upset the Ukippers. St George was after all a Roman soldier. Bloomin' foreign saints, coming over here, taking our Saints' jobs. Almost certainly the fault of the EU.

 Not only that, he was probably born in what is now Turkey or Syria!

Yes that would look nice and I think Stewart would be in the queue provided it was red. It would be a sort of Fishermans Friend
