Held every June, it's one of the main dates on the English sporting calendar and summer social season.

  • With the words 'We will never accept a united Ireland' and another quote 'For God and Ulster' we see a detail of a political painting in a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This Loyalist mural may have been drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) the organisations behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA). In loyalist areas, the red, white and blue of the British Union Jack is painted on kerbs, houses and railings to signify peoples' allegiance to the crown, having historically followed the 17th century activities of King William of Orange against Catholics..

  • 24 hours before the royal marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, a guardsman stands by his sentry box in front of Clarence House in St James Palace where the royal bride is staying. A lady royalist stands admiring the soldier in a bright Union Jack-coloured hat as the guardsman approaches in tandem with an unseen colleague.

  • While crowds wave Union Jack flags, a young couple too young to remember a world war comfort themselves wrapped in a large union jack flag, to remember the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now - as they did in 1945 - played a large part in the country's patriotic well-being...

  • East end Londoners dance in a wave of nostalgia as they gather in their local east end pub in east London, England. Union Jack flags are everywhere - and even on a singer's acoustic guitar - as they remember the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved.

  • Four energetic party goers are dressed up as eccentric 70s punks at a Halloween event in Adrenaline Village, Battersea, London UK. Taken from below them with flash the group is in a dark club environment, their make-up is authentic-looking complete with hair gel and mascara.  They wear tights and a girl on the left has safety pins while being licked on the neck by a man. Another is wearing a Union Jack sleeveless T-shirt while one person is looking directly at the camera. They might look authentic but it has been 20 years since Punk was the huge youth culture of the day.
