Happy St George’s Day

This was going to be my Wordless Wednesday but then I decided I wanted to say some words!

St George is the patron saint of England, so really I should have featured the St George’s Cross, not the Union flag.  But hey, I like this photo.

St George is a popular chap: he has many patronages other than England.  I knew that Catalonia was one, but according to Wikipedia so are all these:
