St George’s Day was marked with street theatre in Bradford’s City Park today featuring a damsel riding a dragon, a knight on stilts and a juggling jester to entertain passersby.

A St George’s flag dance and a knight in shining armour also entertained the crowds.

The Bradford branch of the Royal Society of St George laid a wreath at the cenotaph in the centre of Bradford at 11am, before meeting the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Dale Smith, at City Hall for a short reception.

The bells of City Hall also played a medley of tunes, including Jerusalem and Rose of England at 11am.

The Lord Mayor said: “St George’s Day is a great tradition that Bradford enjoys participating in and I’m sure visitors will enjoy this colourful event to celebrate our national saint.”
