St George's Day: England marks saint's day but churches delay
While some people in England have been celebrating St George's Day with parades, Morris dancing and flags, others will have to wait a week.Anglicans will mark the patron saint's day on Monday 29 April, while Catholics will transfer the day to 30 April.In Manchester, the annual St George's parade was held on bank holiday Monday, with bands, floats, people dressed as knights in armour and scooters riding in formation.
Emsworth in Hampshire held its annual parade, with Royal Artillery regiments and veterans marching through the town centre, wearing red roses.In the Worcestershire village of Bretforton, however, people held a double celebration, as St George's Day coincides with National Asparagus Day - the start of the season in one of England's major growing areas for the vegetable.
