Brian Blessed Sounds Rallying Cry for England???

Predictably, the speech chosen for the BBC film is “Once more unto the breach”, from Henry V. Big-voiced Blessed is joined in the rousing reading by sportsmen including Lewis Hamilton, Martin Johnson and Sebastian Coe. A bit of artistic licence has been taken with the final line: “God for Fabio, England and Saint George”. To view the clip click here
