St. George (for those that asked)

Under comments on my previous entry,  people have asked about St. George and what he did.  There are many different stories about St. George .  He is the Patron Saint of England. Scotland has St. Andrew, Wales has St. David and Ireland has Saint Patrick.  They all have different days.

I can do no better than direct you to my good friend, Sandra, who has done an excellent entry on St. George for those wishing to learn more

Sad at the loss of Sir John Mills who has died at the age of 97.  A wonderful age but it would have been so nice to see him make his century.  He contributed so much to British film and theatre over a remarkably long career. You always knew a film would be good if he was in it.  The last of his type, a man of many talents, a truly nice person, a devoted family man and a real gentleman.  Sleep well, Sir John.

When I first commented I didn`t scroll down far enough to see your posting on Sir John.  He was a fine actor who was truly loved and respected by all in his family,  fellow thespians and cinema-goers alike.  Thanks for posting this Jeannette.  :-)

Yes, I was sad to read about Sir John Mills too Jeannette.
97 is a great age, but as you said, he will definately be missed.
