St George's Day: England marks saint's day but churches delay

While some people in England have been celebrating St George's Day with parades, Morris dancing and flags, others will have to wait a week.Anglicans will mark the patron saint's day on Monday 29 April, while Catholics will transfer the day to 30 April.In Manchester, the annual St George's parade was held on bank holiday Monday, with bands, floats, people dressed as knights in armour and scooters riding in formation.

Emsworth in Hampshire held its annual parade, with Royal Artillery regiments and veterans marching through the town centre, wearing red roses.In the Worcestershire village of Bretforton, however, people held a double celebration, as St George's Day coincides with National Asparagus Day - the start of the season in one of England's major growing areas for the vegetable.

BBCEngland St Andrews Day = patriotic, st David’s Day =patriotic, St Patrick = patriotic. St George = Fascist how?

Be careful, we don’t want to offend anybody do we? Surely, that would be racist?! 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

surely labels anyone celebrating this day as a right wing extremist!!

Not really because Labour calls it racist when people do..

Try flying a St Georges flag and see how quickly the council turn up. Due to the flag being used by scum right wing racists the whole principle of it has been lost. We need a new flag and our own national anthem, not the class ridden crap we have now.

By bombing Syria and lying about Turkey?

St George's day and you mock us with that veilled woman riding a horse..Have you all fallen soo hard for Muslims you can't give us a. Break?

YAWN!

Such a silly occasion. There's very little to celebrate about being English at the moment, sadly. And our flag and national anthem are rubbish.

It’s because media like you and the left call people who celebrate it racist!

Foreigners from foreign enemy nations need to remain in their Homelands & deported from Western Civilization who are linked to terrorists groups or radicalized because they are deep seeded & forcing Europe & America & Israel to live among them in fear by mass migration!

Give us a day off for it and we can have a genuine celebration. Otherwise, it's just another day.

Well I suppose reporting its St Georges day at 3pm is a result for the BBC. Note the negative in the headline. Wouldn't do that with St Pats, St Davids or even Pakistan's national day.

No the English are not allowed to celebrate St George's day otherwise we are deemed racist.
