The Union Flag

This handy little do-hicky was given to me by an aunt who helped out at the Girl Guides.

It showed how the Union Flag was made up of the Flag of St George for England, the Cross of St Patrick for Ireland and the Cross of St Andrew for Scotland.

Adding the St George flag over the St Andrew flag gives you the Jack, as ordered by James I. Putting the Cross of St Patrick in between to get the current Union flag.

I kept this as I thought it would be useful to show my own kids.
