November 27 in blog
Today is Lancashire Day, when all born within the boundaries of this historic county should celebrate the unique characteristics of this finest of counties. It marks the day in 1295 when King Edward I summoned representatives from Lancashire to the Model Parliament. The proclamation for the day is as follows:
To the people of the city and County Palatine of Lancaster, Greetings!
Know ye that this day, November 27th in the year of our Lord 2007, the 56th year of the reign of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Duke of Lancaster, is Lancashire Day.
Know ye that this day, November 27th in the year of our Lord 2007, the 56th year of the reign of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Duke of Lancaster, is Lancashire Day.
Know ye also and rejoice, that by virtue of Her Majesty’s County Palatine of Lancaster, the citizens of the Hundreds of Lonsdale, North and South of the Sands, Amounderness, Leyland, Blackburn, Salford and West Derby are forever entitled to style themselves Lancastrians.
Throughout the County Palatine, from the Furness Fells to the River Mersey, from the Irish sea to the Pennines, this day shall ever mark the people’s pleasure in that excellent distinction – true Lancastrians, proud of the Red Rose and loyal to our Sovereign Duke.
God bless Lancashire and God Save the Queen,Duke of Lancaster.
