Banners are to be found all over the world in parishchurches, stately homes, museums and universities. The Dean &Canons of Windsor were very grateful for the assistance of NADFASmembers in helping expand their knowledge of locations. One banner from the reign of George IV was located, and otherswere reported from as far apart as the Isle of Wight and Australia!There were two winners of the competition to find either the earliestbanner or the greatest number - one a member of the Society ofFriends of St George's & Descendants of the Knights of the Garter whoheard about the hunt locally; the other a NADFAS member - DarrellHamley of West Wycombe.
