In pictures: St George's Day celebrations in and around Hucknall down the years

St George's Day, celebrated annually on April 23rd, is England's national day, commemorating the nation’s patron saint.

A celebration of patriotism and all things English – it’s also the anniversary of the great playwright William Shakespeare’s birth and death – it’s a chance to enjoy what being English is all about.
