The Osbourne Bull

Spain: Osbourne bull
The Osbourne bull here superimposed on the Spanish flag is regarded as the unofficial national symbol of Spain. It's named after the Osbourne sherry company, who used large silhouettes to advertise their wares.

Why are we flying it today? Um - how about it's St Fructuosus's day? He was burned at the stake in 259 by the Romans in Tarragon.
