Three-quarters of us think that more should be done to celebrate our national day, and of these, 63 per cent would like us to ‘embrace’ St George’s Day as the Irish do St Patrick’s Day. Nearly half would like to see more people flying the English flag on St George’s Day. Only 11 per cent, however, would go so far as to fly the flag themselves, and 72 per cent said they would not be celebrating in any way or had no plans to celebrate, even though St George’s Day was on a Saturday that year.
