"A nation which has forgotten its past can have no future."
Sir Winston Churchill
"There is a need that each of us should understand where they came from, what they are and what will become of them"
Wulfstan (d956) - Archbishop of York
Never forget. You are the Angelcynn, the English tribe and your ancestral homeland is England, the country that took its name from the people who founded it, a country that bears your name.
St George's Day 23rd April - let's celebrate England and being English. Let's celebrate all those that have come before us and all that they have given this world. From football to the Beatles, from Magna Carta to The Lord of Rings, Winnie the Pooh to computers, Harry Potter to DNA profiling - our small nation has touched this planet like no other. Sports and games created by the English, technology and invention, medicines which have saved countless millions of lives, the industrial revolution - the spark that changed the world forever, English television, music, theatre, literature and culture. We have given the English language to the world along with its greatest masters; Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and Tennyson.
Always remember, our country was built by men of physical strength, mental fortitude and unbreakable spirit. It was forged in the heat of battle and nurtured in the inherent libertarian instinct of those very first freeborn Englishmen These people were our ancestors; our kinsmen and they are a part of each and every one of us. Their story is our story.
Happy St George’s Day everyone. We haven't gone anywhere.... we’re still here, where we have always been.....let’s raise a glass to that.
The darkest hour is the one before dawn breaks.
LONG LIVE OUR BELOVED ENGLAND!
"Our ancestors took this land. They took it and made it and held it. We do not give up what our ancestors gave us. They came across the sea and they fought here, and they built here and they're buried here. This is our land, mixed with our blood, strengthened with our bone. Ours!"
Bernard Cornwell - 'The Last Kingdom
