Tamworth Castle flies the fleur-de-lys flag (as here), as well as a number of other flags, including the Cross of St Alban's - the flag of the Saxon king Offa, who ruled this part of the world - and the checked flag of the Marmion family, which held Tamworth and surroundings after the Conquest.
Not sure what the fleur-de-lys represents here in its Tamworth instance. I will find out.
The sun emerged rather unsteadily today. Is the run of rainy days over?
