The Union Jack

This is the popular name given to the flag of GB. It is called the Union Flag and it’s a mixture of several flags:

• The red cross of St.George , for England, on a while ground
• The white diagonal cross of St.Andrew, for Scotland, on a blue ground
• The red diagonal cross of St.Patrick, for Ireland, on a white ground

King James the III ordered that the Union Flag should be flown on the main mast off all British ships, except on ship of war. Here the flag was flown at the front of the ships, on what was called the Jack star and so we get the name of Union Jack. A “jack”, by the way, is an old word for the sailor. Union Jack is also on the flag of Australia and New Zealand.
