St George the Patron Saint of England.

I hope every English person remembers the day............

Today (4/23 is St George's Day. It's a story dating back to the 6th century tells that St George rescued a maiden by slaying a fearsome fire-breathing dragon. The Saint's name was shouted as a battle cry by English knights who fought beneath the red-cross banner of St George during the Hundred Years War (1338-1453).
