Happy Bedfordshire Day

Today is Bedfordshire Day.

The 28th November is Bedfordshire Day.

I lived in Luton, Bedfordshire for 16 years before moving north to Stockport in 2016.

I've got some great memories of exploring the county.

I might make myself a Bedfordshire Clanger later to celebrate the day.

Bedfordshire gets a new County Flag

The county of Bedfordshire has a new officially recognised flag and a 'day' to follow.

Reading the Simply Sims column in a recent edition of the Luton News I saw that the county of Bedfordshire now has an officially recognised County Flag and plans are afoot to set a date for an annual 'Bedfordshire Day'.

On the 11 September 2014 The Flag Institute admitted the Bedfordshire Flag into the Register of County Flags.

The new county flag of Bedfordshire

Visit the Friends of Bedfordshire Society's website to read about why the flag looks like it does and what it means.

I look forward to seeing the flag flying and fluttering around the county and I'll be buying a pin badge version asap.
