All this nostalgia coming through recently, anyone remember May 24th, Empire Day, when we used to celebrate being part of the great British Empire on which the sun never set. At school we used to have a pageant and each dress up to represent one of the colonies. I was a banana to represent Jamaica. (no comments thank you). Then we marched round the town singing land of Hope and Glory and Rule Brittania. Were they the "Good old days? I like to think so. Len Strong.

I think I had a day off school once for this Len, but cannot remember it being celebrated. I can remember the Festival of Britain in London in 1951 my school arranged a trip but the coach broke down outside London Zoo and we spent the day in there instead!!
