Flag of United Kingdom
Flag Description:
blue field with the red cross of Saint George (patron saint of England) edged
in white superimposed on the diagonal red cross of Saint Patrick (patron saint
of Ireland), which is superimposed on the diagonal white cross of Saint Andrew
(patron saint of Scotland); properly known as the Union Flag, but commonly called
the Union Jack; the design and colors (especially the Blue Ensign) have been the
