St George's Day: Patron saint impersonator talks up importance of English celebration on GB News

Watch Russell Palmer, a professional performer, speak about the importance of St George's Day as he jokes "I don't really answer to my actual name anymore".

He spoke about how the national celebration brings people together, particularly children, to celebrate England's patron saint.

Asked whether St George's Day has been forgotten in this day and age, he said: "St George is a symbol. People recognise the symbolism. I think we don't really focus on the Church or religion anymore."
