    St George is the patron saint of Blighty. He's also an important said throughout Europe many countries and cities have adopted the cross (England, Georgia, Genoa, Milan, Barcelona). He wasn't even English though. He was Roman & is the most venerated Saint in the Roman Catholic church.

    In fact the only Patron Saint of the Brirish Isles that was actually born on the British Isles was St. David of Wales.
