Flag Detail
The official flag of this nation and its people is the Union Jack, sometimes the United Kingdom (UK) flag. Red crosses from Saint George for England, white saltires from Saint Andrew for Scotland, and red saltires for Saint Patrick for Ireland taken together form one flag. The design of the UK flag started in 1606 when Scottish King James VI ascended to English King James I. He wanted one flag displaying the symbols of all three countries brought together to show the unity and might of the three countries. The UK flag's robust red, white, and blue tones reflect back. The blue represents trust, allegiance, peace, and bravery; the white on the flag stands for bravery, military courage, peace, and honesty. The Red, on the other hand, symbolises confidence, bravery, courage, and loyalty.
