    Ukip are holding a Cultural policy briefing this morning with their culture spokesman Peter Whittle and economy spokesman Patrick O’Flynn and they are handing out red and white St. George’s Day hats.

    They want bank holidays partly to deal with the “cultural cringe” about proudly flying the national flag.

    Happy St. George's Day to all! http://t.co/Jju1ccgEHd pic.twitter.com/lU8sytSSIu

    A very happy St George's Day to family and friends in England.

    Happy St George's Day to everyone across England and further afield. We can be proud of our country, of our ingenuity, our industry.

    Still waiting for our wishes from Nick Clegg and Natalie Bennett though.
