Well said 😃👏👏 The good folk of Bedminster, Brislington, Knowle and Hartcliffe are blessed by being Someset folk too 😃 Interesting subject, this one. We wrote a factsheet about it 😁 gazetteer.org.uk/ABC_Factsheet_…

For #SurreyDay, two very different but equally stunning cricket grounds. Surrey is blessed with an extraordinary diversity of landscapes and townscapes 😃 Great to see #SurreyDay and the #SurreyFlag growing in popularity year on year 👏

Each year support grows across the country for our county day. Thank you whether you're from Middlesex or not for being so lovely. As author of the Real Counties of Britain each county is very precious some have been a part of our national heritage before England was even founded

Great to see the #berwickshireflag catching on throughout the county. Our aim is to see see every historic county have a flag and for that flag to be a symbol of that county, widely flown within the county and recognised and loved by all in the county😀

A very happy #WiltshireDay to all moonrakers😃 The Crammer in Devizes is often claimed as the site of the famous Moonrakers legend, a tale that dates from before 1787. Many other places in Wiltshire also make this claim😃 Our portait of Wiltshire: abcounties.com/featured/wilts…

Today is #BuckinghamshireDay! Which remembers Dr Guttmann of Stoke Mandeville Hospital, who created the SM Games for wounded WW2 veterans in the hospital. From there, it grew into the Paralympic Games! A wonderful gift from Buckinghamshire to the World! BBC Beds, Herts & Bucks NHS Buckinghamshire

The Sun Inn in Dent is ready for #YorkshireDay tomorrow (1st August). While administrative arrangements change and change again, our historic counties remain fixed. Dent proudly remains part of the West Riding. This will be the 49th Yorkshire Day 👏👏 Thanks to YRS for the pic.
