Download Article (PDF)
St George's Day 2008 - Wednesday April 23rd  "The game's afoot. Follow you spirit, and upon this charge. Cry God for Harry, England and Saint George!"

Flags, football, pubs and parties are the stock-in-trade of London's current St George's Day celebrations and there is also now a strong movement to have St George's Day made into a formal national holiday. Quite right too we say!
