A random yet highly fascinating fact about the British flag is that it’s missing Wales! Poor Wales. The flag is actually made up of the three flags of England, Scotland and Ireland which are the crosses of each country’s patron saint. England: Cross of St George – Red Cross, Scotland: Cross of St Andrew – White Saltaire, Ireland: Cross of St Patrick – Red Saltaire. Also, while pretty much everyone calls it the Union Jack, it’s technically called the Union Flag unless it’s being flown at sea. And finally, if you have an eye for detail, look very closely… If you look closely at the flag, you’ll notice that it’s actually not symmetrical in its shapes, which means that there is a proper way to display the flag. This little graphic should clarify how to properly display the flag.
