St. George's Day

I'm flying the flag, lol

Thanks for your support Guy's but I think you can take the 'Dragon hill' ledgend' above with a pinch of salt lol.
St George of course. never came to England., as I posted on another post, he was a Turkish born Roman soldier remembered for his bravery and galantry. He defended Christians when they were being victimised by the Pagan rulers of Rome. He rescued a female from being sacrificed to a dragon-like serpant that tormented a village in north Africa. Richard the Lionheart whilst fighting in the crusades, impressed by the stories of the man, his honour, fairness and bravery, decided to honour the man and what he stood for by wearing his symbol (red cross on white background) on his shield and that of his English armies. On his return to England it was adopted and ST GEORGE was made the patron saint of England.
I am a proud englisman and try to live in the image of St George
Happy St Goeorges day to everyone!
