SIR – It’s St George’s Day on Saturday and all are welcome to join in the celebrations.

The raising of the flag in Centenary Square will be a great sight to see indeed. I just wish Bradford Council would push the boat out more regarding St George’s Day, whether it falls on a Saturday or a Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.

That applies to ordinary folk too, for if people made more of an effort each year, then we could all have a day to look forward to and be proud of every April 23.

Also, I hope that the police will not scaremonger this year by putting pressure on pubs in town to close like they did last year.
