Happy St Georges Day
St George Killing the Dragon by Raphael

The national Saint of England is St George, he was not English. As far as I know, in terms of modern day geography, he was from Turkey and killed the Dragon in Syria.
The national flower of england is the red rose and a lot of wars where fought to make it red an not white.
