THE UNION FLAG The flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is officially called the Union Flag, because it embodies the emblems of three countries united under one Sovereign. It is commonly known as the Union Jack. The term ‘jack’ was first used in the Royal Navy during the 17th century to describe the Union Flag, a little smaller than the other ensigns worn by ships at that time, which was flown at the main masthead of a ship. The Union Flag The emblems that appear on the Union Flag are the crosses of three patron saints: the red cross of St George, for England, on a white ground; the white diagonal cross or saltire of St Andrew, for Scotland, on a blue ground; and the red diagonal cross attributed to St Patrick, for Ireland, on a white ground. Wales is not represented in the Union Flag because when the first version of the flag appeared, Wales was already united with England. The first Union Flag, in 1606, combined the national flag of England – the cross of St George – and that of Scotland – the cross of St Andrew. The cross of St George The cross of St Andrew The final version of the Union Flag appeared in 1801, following the union of Great Britain with Ireland, with the inclusion of the cross of St Patrick. The cross remains in the flag although now only Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom; southern Ireland is a separate republic. The cross of St Patrick The national flag of Wales, a red dragon on a field of white and green, dates from the 15th century, and is in widespread use throughout the Principality. The Welsh flag
