  • Four ladies are seen from behind wearing Union Jack hats and waving Britain's national flag flags. It is the Queens' Golden Jubilee celebrations in London's Hyde Park and this scene of patriotic fun is common when crowds gather to acknowledge their monarch's long reign over her people. The women's faces are obscured but there is a blurred face of an unknown singer leading a concert of rousing songs - perhaps Rule Britannia - that excites the crowd still in the semi-darkness. It is the end of a long day of marches and appearances of Her Majesty on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, marking her 50th year on the throne.

Wearing the large letter B for Butlins on his red vest, the young lad sucks on his whistle held between his lips and prominently, the words 'Made in England' have been tattooed on his left shoulder - as if a statement for his patriotic ideals but also for those of Butlins - an institution for the British working classes who after the war had the opportunity to spend their summers at special resorts in seaside towns that provided entertainment and fun.

  • The England footballer Wayne Rooney's faces are seen wrapped up in polythene, sold outside a shop near St. Paul's Cathedral where merchandise accessories are being sold off cheap outside sports shop in City of London. It is a few days after the England team's defeat by Germany in the quarter-finals of the South African World Cup and while English flags are stored away in time for the next St. George's Day when nationalism and patriotic emotions are showed on homes, in streets and on working mans’ vans, these Rooney face masks are now seen as passé, unsellable at current prices so their value has been reduced from just 10 pence. Golden boy Rooney is still a commodity that Manchester United earn millions from – their merchandising opportunities reach a fever levels at times of premiership and international matches.

  • A VW camper van adorned with British union jack colours is parked on a campsite at Reedham on the Norfolk Broads. With late sun filling this field, setting to the east through a native tree, we see a tent belonging to a camper at the site in East Anglia.

  • While crowds wave Union Jack flags a re-enactment soldier shows a youngster wearing a WW2 costume how to use a Thompson sub-machine gun - remembering the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995.

Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • Three Parisians gain an advantage by climbing higher than pavement level to watch the patriotic Bastille Day Procession from a doorway on the Avenue Champs-Élysées, Paris.

On a street traffic sign the French words 'Defense de Stationner' are written which in English translates as 'No Stopping', referring to vehicles not pedestrians. There is graffiti tagging sprayed on the walls and a brown stain at the bottom of a drainpipe

  • A lone seagull circles above the British Union Jack Flag which flies in a stiff breeze, its colours of red-white and blue almost wholly horizontal as the wind tears through the blue skies and beneath thin, high clouds above Brighton East Sussex, England UK. Tied to its flag-pole, this symbol of patriotic nationalism, evokes a sense of pride and spirit the British are known for - having encouraged them through two world wars and more recently, other military campaigns. The colours (colors) of Scotland's blue and white crosses and the English cross of St. George are merged to make this well-known symbol of the British Isles.
