Coming from a "Yank"... Britons please preserve your heritage and history. It's one of the richest in the world and should be saved and carried on.

I can't believe England stopped doing cultural things like this while immigration changes England's culture. Way to piss it all away.

@TheDentist27 Immigration has and continues to make England a great country. This has been an ever changing country for hundreds of years. The Royal Tattoo continues to be held in Edinburgh every year. Culture is everywhere in this country, a lot of people shut themselves of from it because they dislike it.
