Lancashire Day

[ganimede]

Today is Lancashire Day. On this day in 1295 the first elected representatives from Lancashire were called to Westminster by King Edward I to attend what later became known as 'The Model Parliament'. The Lancashire Day proclamation is read out by town criers throughout the County and also in many places where Lancastrians are living in exile.

Your location reminds me of how my cousins live in (Lancastrian-except-not-really) East Liverpool, OH. I can't quite figure out the geography on that one, either. :)

I'm either west of Lancashire or east of Boston!

Yo, just saying hi. I saw ftmichael using the above icon and asked if I could nick it, and he directed me to you. I saw on your icon page to credit you for it, so just saying I have done so, and that I love the icon muchly.

I'm glad you like the icon and thanks for letting me know!
