Land 

All over this land there are people and families living.

Guys and gals living how they do.

Adding to the history of our nation.

In towns and villages, by the coast in small harbours and on isolated islands.

Young and old, happy and sad.

See them in their lives, so many past memories and future dreams.

We are them, they are us.

Some are parents, others kids doing what kids do.

Adults work to support their families, coal miners and soldiers, waitresses and bar girls.

Our country, home to so many people.

Shaped by war and forged in battle.

A third of the world was our empire.

Empire people settled here as decades pass.

Pages add to the story of England.

Day by day, dawn becoming dusk.

What will tomorrow bring for us all.

Joyous family life or perilous battle abroad?

Will you take a summer day trip to Chester or a winter holiday in Durham?

England here for us all to see.

So much to see and do.

You add to our history in your own way.
