As today is St. George’s Day I thought I would go out and take some photographs of English flags. I was very disappointed. It took me ages to find one. In all I only managed to find two flags in the area I live. One was on a church and the other was on the town hall.
I could complain on and on about the lack of flags but this blog is about my photography and not about social commentary.
This flag was flying on Bootle Town Hall. As I stood there waiting for the clouds to clear hoping it wouldn’t rain, I realised that despite the bad weather and the lack of general interest in St. George’s Day, just looking at the flag made me feel proud of my English heritage. I just hope there are more people out there who feel proud of their heritage too, no matter where they are from.
