> Hullo Dave, Britania featured on Australian coins also, uptil George v I think.
> I remember when we used to celebrate Empire Day, someone from the girls school would be trotted out centre stage (one time on a wheelchair, so that the Union flag revolved, as they pushed Britania out!)she'd be draped in a sort of sheet and be wearing one of those big brass fire helmets that the "firies"used to wear, borrowed from the local fire station, and be holding a trident, or a pitchfork.
> We'd all sing "there'll always be an England", and look forward to cracker night in the evening. We were a pretty simple mob in those days."There'll Always Be An England"!! Brings back memories. We used to sing that during WWII as though we lived in England ourselves. Very emotional it was. Thanks for reminding me. Hazel
