Let not St George fade into the past. Put some colour and warmth into our lives by showing that St George was in the past but is very much alive now. CELEBRATE1

Long overdue as many people do not even know he is our patron saint. Shame

About time to have an England national holiday. We have had our nationality suppressed and downgraded for too long.

The English deserve to celebrate our own special day. We are a country that allows and encouraged others to celebrate theirs, so why can't we celebrate too?

English and proud

Mrs Andrea Taylor

We are allowed little that stands for England and the English - please give us the 23rd April instead of the 1st May so that we can celebrate our Country, our Heritage and of course the great William Shakespeare.

We should have a day to celebrate England

Ian Dunkley

We need to restore pride in our country and make celebrating being English something that we sould not be ashamed to admit.

Stephen A Warden

St George day must, by any reasonable definition, be a day of time to celebrate our English roots and traditions.

I would prefer to celebrate the day of our Patron Saint than observe the former Communist holiday of 1 May. My view is we should exchange one for the other as I doubt an extra day would be granted by the Government.

Vera Roberts

Good luck with this petition

Mrs T Tucker

Make St Georges day a national holiday we should not be ashamed to have one. Even swap 1st May holiday for OUR national day

Mrs T Tucker
