Today is 23rd April, the saints day of the Patron Saint of England; St.George. We, as Orangemen, to our God and King loyal and true remember him as a soldier and martyr who laid down his life for his belief (as so many Orangemen have done in war and in peace). Let us reflect on his example as we enjoy the day today; Steadfast unto death for what to him was more important than life itself.

We often picture him as fighting and defeating the dragon. The dragon may be characterised as the devil or as tyranny in general. This symbolises the defeat of evil by God's champion. This also characterises England; the historic enemy of tyrants and of all forms of tyranny, of which we, - as Orangemen - should be particularly proud.

Let us all remember with pride and thankfulness the Patron Saint of England, whatever our own beliefs, and enjoy this England! Today of all days. GSTK.

Queen Elizabeth II was born on this day 100 years ago.

The Orange Institution remembers her unstinting faith, selfless service and devotion to her subjects.

Her strong and dignified leadership was an inspiration to us all.
