THOUSANDS of youngsters will parade through Dartford and Gravesend to celebrate Saint George’s Day this year.

Pupils from 27 schools across north Kent will parade alongside musicians and creative artists on April 23.

During the past six weeks the children have been preparing displays to carry in the parade as well as a model of Saint George himself.

Director of Kent Equality Cohesion Council Gurvinder Sandher said: “The events in Gravesham and Dartford will underline the positive community relations existing in north Kent as the diverse communities will be coming together as one to celebrate the Patron Saint of England.”

The Gravesham parade begins at 10:30am outside the Towncentric office with the Dartford parade starting at 1:30pm outside the One Bell Pub.

A brass band will perform outside in Gravesend’s Community Square at 10am and outside the One Bell Pub at 1pm.

The Kent Equality Cohesion Council aims to reduce inequality and promote good relations between the diverse communities across Kent.

...'union flag' - not 'union jack' my gud man!! ...not a biggy flag-flyer - but i'll defend it to my last breath if that is what decent, honest, folk want!! but it's so refreshing to see our youngsters having some patriotic pride in their flag!! quite right too!! personally, i'd like to see every lad and lass be taught our national anthems, be taught-the correct way to fly the union flag ( thick white bar - top left hand side please!! ) and to have some self-pride in our wonderful country and our culture... we set a lot of standards in our country for the rest of the world to follow, we invented almost everything, so let's start teaching the young the basics by learning our anthems and flying the flags - not forgetting to learn our every saints day date for each of our wonderful countries that make the 'union'... i thank you.

I agree with a 99% of your comment.

"we invented almost everything" No we didn't.

Most of what we got was stolen. However it was for Queen and country so it was ok. If you're going to teach history, teach the whole story not just the victors side.

Everytime you leave a comment you show the world how dumb you really are.

Here's some we didn't invent:
Smoke detector
Tractor
GPS
Medical gloves
Assembly line
Hearing aid
Tea bag
Airplane
Electric guitar

So wind that neck in!

Happy St George's day everyone!!! Let us fly our flags with pride before some politically correct moron of an Mp suggests it should be banned!!!
If we emblazen our towns with our flags and celebrate our national day it will be too much for the marxist politically correct bullies to tackle!!!
