Re: Happy St George's Day
I have made a little video called I vow to thee my country; a song of allegiance which I am releasing now, in time for St George’s Day this Saturday.

England doesn't have a readily identifiable song in comparison to Scotland the Brave or Men of Harlech.

On St George's Day, my favourite patriotic song, which was also my Dad's, sung by the late Dame Vera Lynn.
