🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ST GEORGE’S DAY HISTORY
St. George's Day is traditionally celebrated on April 23rd each year and is recognised as England’s national day on the anniversary of his death in 303 AD. Admired for his bravery, the patron saint of England has captivated British imaginations since the Crusades and the Hundred Years' War. As usual, the St. George’s Cross flag will be raised at Bedford Borough Hall. This year, a flag will be raised at Old Town Hall at 9.30am and a third flag will also be raised on the new flagpole at the Harpur Suite.
