About the flag of the United Kingdom
What it means: Each cross stands for a part of the United Kingdom: Saint George for England, Saint Andrew for Scotland and Saint Patrick for Northern Ireland. Wales is not shown.
Did you know? No law ever made the Union Jack the national flag; it gained that status simply through long use.
