You can fly a national flag providing it isn't over certain dimensions and height without permission. ^^^ This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockySpears Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Broad band to the pole and uppermost. Unlike many flags, the Union Jack is not symmetrical. The broader white band on the diagonal tells you how to fly it. I have seen innumerous flags either upside down (most common as even the manufacturers get the pole loops on the correct side) or flipped vertically (even ones already mounted on a pole/stick). I might get around to doing this, doing lots in the garden hopefully so should plan a flagpole in, Thank you, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redial Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) I was told many years ago the flag was also known as the 'Butchers Apron' in some parts of the world. Anyone else heard this. Perhaps I had a liberal minded schoolmaster. Edited October 27, 2021 by redial Error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
