St George's Day

It may come as something of a surprise to some, but the picture above was taken this morning in Bradford Centenary Square following the Council-organised St George's Day parade. And it was quite a spectacle.

As one might expect, St George himself was there accompanied by his traditional dragon prey (straddled by either the Mona Lisa or a clothed Lady Godiva, not sure which).

We had some extras from Blackadder II.

And we had many of the great and the good of Bradford district following along behind.

Sadly, Jamie wasn't able to make it along to celebrate a very important part of his heritage but I still made sure he had a flag to wave to mark the special day.

In the top right hand corner of the picture you can just about make out the card he and I clubbed together to buy for his mother. From her "two favourite Ulstermen."
