United Kingdom: about the flag

The Union Jack combines three national crosses: the red cross of St George for England, the white saltire of St Andrew for Scotland, and the red saltire of St Patrick for Ireland. Wales has no representation on the flag, a fact that remains controversial.

The flag's origins date to 1606, when King James I ordered the union of the English and Scottish flags. The current design dates from 1 January 1801, when Ireland joined the union. The flag is called the Union Jack or Union Flag, and both names are officially acceptable.

The flag is flown on government buildings, at royal ceremonies, and on British ships. It also appears in the canton of many flags of former British colonies, from Australia to the Cayman Islands.
