Town Hall raises flag for St. George's Day
April 23, 2009 4:26 PM
The St. George's Cross was raised on Islington Town Hall to celebrate St. George's Day.
The Mayor of Islington, Councillor Stefan Kasprzyk, joined Liberal Democrat councillors to raise the St. George's cross above the Town Hall this week to celebrate St. George's Day.
Councillor Terry Stacy, Deputy Leader of the council, said:
"St. George was a Roman Palestinian, and he is the patron saint of Portugal, Georgia, Palestine, and Beirut, as well as England. So he's a good patron for our diverse country. England's long heritage of freedom, tolerance, and diversity is what makes this country great. I'm proud to be celebrating St. George's Day - it should be made a national holiday."
