St Georges colours are red and white which are also the colours of the celtic sun god. Ursula Broadwood was, supposedly, the woman who brought out the Oss onto Stepper Point and danced with it there when there was about to be an invasion, French I think, but I'm not sure. When they saw this apparition on Stepper, they turned their boats and fled, thus ending what was to have been the last invasion of England.

See you may day
