Caz 25 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Where's all this happening Scoots,is it local or just England in general?? I wasn't aware St George's day was particularly celebrated. Good on them & you all for hanging onto tradition & something which should be celebrated. It shouldn't be allowed to just drift away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caz 25 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Thanks for posting that Scoots. Nice to see all the floats & people taking an interest in tradition & being proud of their country. I went to an Anzac parade today in my town. Very emotional watching all the old diggers marching with their medals,some very fragile, but still they marched with pride bless em!! A lot of Vietnam vets marched too. Lovely to see youngsters taking part & supporting the old soldiers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
