"It is remarkable that a small state on the edge of Europe, surrounded by
enemies and a fierce sea, should rise up to create the greatest empire the
world has ever seen.

It was truly an empire on which the sun never set, something also true of its
successor, the Commonwealth."





FLY your flags for St. George!.

Today, hundreds of English men and women will raise their crosses on their
flagpoles to celebrate our dragon-slaying saint.

What it means to us to be English..

"I wake up in the morning and thank God I'm English. I get such
bad homesickness when I go away that I feel physically ill. I love our
heritage, I love our human rights record and I love our countryside."

"I love the fact that we are a nation of animal lovers. I love
our quirky customs, I love our morals and I love that we always moan about
the weather."

"I celebrate St George's Day and fly the flag because I am
proud to be English and proud of my country.

"To be proud of who you are, you must be proud of where you come from -
And I am ENGLISH."


Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance...Last Night Of The Proms

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee ?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set ;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.
