Derbyshire Now – 24th April 2026 Edition

St George’s Day

We proudly flew the St George’s Cross flag over County Hall in Matlock on Thursday to mark St George’s Day.

Our Council Leader Councillor Alan Graves threw himself into the spirit of the day, which is celebrated annually on 23 April.

Councillor Graves spent the day travelling across the county meeting residents from a number of villages and towns and encouraging them to celebrate the patron saint of England.

We were given drone footage at no cost to the council of the St George’s Cross flag being raised high above our headquarters, and luckily we have staff members who have a head for heights to do the honours.

We hope you had a great St George’s Day and marked the occasion in some way.
