It is simply wrong that our National Day should not be a Public Holiday. This needs to be corrected.

although this will not benefit me directly as I am now based overseas, it is something I have long believed should be realised.

By having a public holiday on St. Georges day shows the world that we care for our country,and are proud to celebrate it.

It is only right and proper that England should have a National Day - St Georges day, to be held every April 23. To attrain this all 'politically correct' councils and individuals must be swept aside or England will never ever have a National Day to be proud of! signed . John Barnes.

We should have a national bank holiday for St George when so many other nationalities are having theirs. This is Great Britain after all.

I am sending you a photograph of our church's 19th century banner of St George for your interest and to keep on your files. St Mary's Church, Teddington, Middlesex. I restored the banner last year and it has been displayed in the church for St George's Day for the first time in many years. We think it was embroidered by a guild of local parishioners at the turn of the century.

We need the government to declare St.George's Day a public holiday and not kowtow to the namby-pambies who think it will "offend" others.
