卡梅伦首相2016年圣乔治日视频致辞

St George's Day – England's national day – couldn't fall on a more appropriate date: the anniversary of William Shakespeare's death.

This year marks 400 years since the passing of the world's greatest writer.

Yet his words about this nation, “this precious stone set in the silver sea,” remain as potent as the day he wrote them.

Shakespeare's genius captivated and changed the world and men and women across England continue to do that today.

I think of the Malaysian football fans cheering on English clubs, the Chinese children reciting English poems, the English bands blaring from Brazilian radios, English charities and aid money saving African lives, and English soldiers' names – so many of them – carved onto white stone in foreign fields.

For many years, St George's Day hasn't had the recognition it truly deserves.

Perhaps our stiff upper lip has been just too stiff.

But it is vital to let our pride and our patriotism show, remembering who we are and what has made us great.

Because this is a country that is practical and passionate.

That is fiercely independent and sticks with its allies.

That's how we helped win two world wars, it's how we invented so much, how we created so much, and it's how we became part of the proudest multi-racial, multi-ethnic democracy on earth.

So, this St George's Day, let's recognise our achievements.

Let's build a greater future.

Let's celebrate “this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
