Lancashire Day
 

Lancashire Day is 27th November. Think 'Lancashire' - red rose, good food,friendliness. I expect that the Mayor will be present to hear a crier read the Loyal Proclamamion at 11am when Lancastrians declare their loyalty to The Queen, the Duke of Lancaster. See thewebsite of The Fiends of Real Lancashire

Have a look at the official flag of Lancashire - a red rose on a yellow background- on the website of the Friends of Real Lancashire. (FORL) A Scottisj city had already lodged a claim for a red rose on a white background before the Lancashire claim was put into the Flag Institute.

Associating itself with Lancashire Day on the Wednesday, Radio Lancashire are concentrating on Lancashire-related material all week and are broadcasting from a different place in the county each day. On Monday morning, I am on with Graham Liver to discuss the day's papers over coffee and to mention Lancashire stuff. Bank on it - I will do my best to mention Accrington.

Re: Lancashire Day
 

Re: Lancashire Day
 

What about a mention for Accrington Web ?:D

Re: Lancashire Day
 

Without promising - I'll do my best to slip one in.

Re: Lancashire Day
 

Who's the lucky lady?

Re: Lancashire Day
 

I'll treat that as a twitty remark ( hidden pun)

I came away disappointed that I hadn't enough time to get Lancashire mentions in, though I did slip in that there was only one town in the world called Accrington. Too much was spent on reviewing the papers. I was given 6 papers to look at. The Guardian was one of them, but not the Daily Telegraph. The best headline I found was in The Guardian - ' Workers Earn Peanuts from Unfair Trade in Cashews'.

The Hyndburn Mayor's Charity Committee organised a Lancashire Night at Accrington Town Hall on Friday 22nd November. Over 150 people attended, including the Chairman of Friends of Real Lancashire. Entertainment was provided by The Phil Knight Experience and Les Bond and there was a pie and peas supper. As Mayor I attended another Lancashire Night on Saturday 23rd at Bank Mill House, Great Harwood. Entertainment was provided by Dylan Owen and friends. On Lancashire Day I attended the two Hyndburn Proclamations with Great Harwood's Town Crier - Accrington Town Hall at 10 a.m. and Churchfield House, Great Harwood at 11 a.m. I wore full ceremonial robes and was interviewed by Radio Lancashire. On Thursday 28th November there was an excellent Lancashire Day exhibition at Rishton Library. So on the whole I think we raised the profile of Lancashire Day in Hyndburn this year!

Ah'm mustard. It took you all of 7 minutes to appreciate my wit.- you were the only one who did. I'm wasting my time on here.

Re: Lancashire Day
 

Just heard on Radio Lancashire that they are setting up camp outside Accrington Market today, looking for your stories of Accrington in anticipation of Lancashire Week.
