I too have noticed while queueing for things, people are of a slightly more browned tinge Wink

George was not a knight.  He was ‘possibly’ a Roman soldier. He would not have worn a full suit of armour, they didn’t appear until the 14th c. Approximately fourteen hundred years after his death. He did not have a flag, that was another later invention and the dragon didn’t appear until a thousand years after his martyrdom.
