I know today is American Flag day but in England due to world cup we are having something of an English renaissance and certainly I am noticing more English flags than ever are being displayed.
We somehow have almost been ashamed to say we are English whereas the Welsh and Scots are proud of it and display their flags at most sporting events. We English however in the past seem to play down our Englishman's and be British using the Union flag however it seems that we have had enough of this and we now want to be English not British.
The following are photos I have taken within the last couple of weeks showing homes and businesses including the High Street in Ashford all decorated with the St George's flag.
