In addition to this we have a number of County Days during August. On September 4th Berkshire celebrates the day of its Patron Saint, St.Birinus. On the 13th England’s smallest county in geographical terms but not in spirit, Rutland, celebrates its county day which commemorates the Grand Assault on Gibraltar. On the 22nd, Derbyshire celebrates its day, which was decided by popular vote. On the 24th of the month Cumberland commemorates the baptism of John Peel on its county day. Last but not least, Westmorland on the 29th of September celebrates its day, a date decided by popular vote.
Whatever you are doing on your specific county day, fly the flags with pride, try and eat and drink local and celebrate what makes your part of England with pride
