I have just had a quick history lesson.

Also a botany lesson. The wood anemone is the county flower of Middlesex.

Middlesex Heritage recognise both the Wood Anemone and Middlesex Rose as county flowers”
Plantlife (flower charity) did a county flower project about 15 years ago. Wood anemone for Middlesex but we can have that as our wild flower. Middlesex Rose is our real county flower.”

mainly in Middlesex itself especially important buildings but you may see flags flown from exiled Middlesaxons around the country as It has been revived more recently. A taste of the extent here.

Very recently a donated flag had been flown over Downing Street but it was not done this time (despite a parliamentary question this week !) But tthe Commons Speaker has arranged for it to fly from The Speaker’s Flagpole in New Palace Yard, a precinct within the House of Commons..

Lincolnshire day is on October 1st every year. It is supposed to celebrate the anniversary of the Lincoln rising - a rebellion that started in 1536.

Cheshire Day is March 30th. "The date commemorates the charter of liberties granted to Cheshire by King Edward I in 1300, which functioned similarly to a local Magna Carta." So there you are. Every day is a school day.
