Description
The flag of Great Britain, also known as the Union Jack, was designed in 1606 and consists of the flags of England, Scotland and Ireland. The flag was so named because it shows the heraldic emblem of the British royal family, the so-called “Union Badge.” The Union badge consists of the Cross of Saint Andrew for Scotland, the Cross of Saint George for England and the Cross of Saint Patrick for Ireland. The flag was changed several times over the years to include the Welsh flag, but the name “Union Jack” persisted. The flag is now used as the national symbol of Great Britain and is displayed on official occasions and on government buildings.
