'Whoever you are, wherever you're from, whatever your faith, or none, we are all England," explained campaign organiser Mark Perryman at the launch of the 'I am England' campaign on St George's Day.  

And backing the message Respect election candidate Martyn Lambert added '"Throughout the World Cup Longsight in Manchester will be full of England flags,  the I am England message is brilliant, England for all. The England team is a powerful symbol of how this country has changed,  not just the players, but increasingly the fans, of all races, faiths and backgrounds, something to welcome and be proud of."  

The 'I am England' message celebrates the  extraordinary diversity of today's support for England. Mark Perryman explained ' I am England is very positive and simple. We can all be England, if we choose to be, no qualifications are required to become a fan, no exclusions demanded to determine who can and cannot be a supporter.'
