Today, Andrew Rosindell M.P., alongside Mr. Speaker, The Rt Hon. Sir Lindsay Hoyle M.P., and the Leader of the House of Commons, The Rt Hon. Penny Mordaunt M.P., hosted a celebration of everything English in the Speaker's State Apartments in Parliament.
This was an opportunity for people from across the political divide to come together under the banner of St. George!
With Andrew was also Mayor of Havering, Cllr. Stephanie Nunn, and her consort Cllr. Barry Bugglestone.
We were even blessed to have the presence of Romford Town Crier, Tony Appleton, the Romford British Legion Band and Corps of Drums, and Win'stan' Churchill!
