The iconic Union Jack flag is the national flag of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and comprises of the St George Cross of England edged in white, superimposed over the cross of St Patrick of Ireland, also edged in white, with the whole design superimposed over the Scottish St Andrew's Saltire. Wales is not represented - when the flag was adopted Wales was part of the Kingdom of England. The original Union Flag was first used in 1606 by a proclamation of King James VI and I of Scotland and England, the only difference being the original flag did not show the cross of St Patrick.

The flag is both known as the Union Flag and the Union Jack Flag - it is believed by some commentators that the term Union Jack should only be used when the flag is flown at sea - this, however, has been disputed in recent years as there is no historical evidence that this should be the case, so it is now acceptable to use either term for the flag.

Over the years, the Union Jack has been seen by many as a nationalist right wing symbol - thankfully in recent times these outdated views have been put aside and patriotic Brits are now happy to fly their national flag with pride. With superb events to celebrate including the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and momentous Royal Birthday, the great folk of the UK have been awash with the Red, White and Blue, once again falling in love with the great nation and its iconic flag.
