ENGLISH Heritage is promoting a range of St George's Day cards in a bid to boost awareness of the event.

For English Heritage to promote anything must be the kiss of death.

The Wessex Society wishes them the best of luck, but we remind folk that they will have an opportunity to celebrate St Aldhelm's Day (patron saint of Wessex) on May 25 and we ask them to fly the Wessex flag on that day. It is a white cross on a red field.
