The Union Flag - the flag of the United Kingdom(UK)The Union Flag, popularly known as the *Union Jack, is the national flag of the United Kingdom. It is the British flag.It is called the Union Flag because it symbolises the administrative union of the countries of the United Kingdom. It is made up up of the individual Flags of three of the Kingdom's countries all united under one Sovereign - the countries of 'England, of 'Scotland' and of 'Northern Ireland' (since1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom). As Wales was not aKingdom but a Principality it could not be included on the flag.

Scotland is represented by the flag of St. Andrew(a diagonal white cross form (called a saltire) on a blue field)After Queen Elizabeth I of England died in 1603, King James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne and became King James I of England.On 20 October 1604 James proclaimed a new title for himself as 'King of Great Britain'.A problem arose, which flag should be hoisted on the king's ships. English sailors resented the Scottish colours and the Scots scorned the cross of St. George .In 1606 the problem was solved.A compromise led to the creation of the first Union Flag.On 12 April 1606, the National Flags of Scotland and England were united for use at sea, thus making the first Union 'Jack'. Ashore however, the old flags of England and Scotland continued to be used by their respective countries.A royal decree declared that the ships of the Kingdom of Great Britain "shall bear on their maintops the red cross, commonly called St. George's cross, and the white cross, commonly called St. Andrew's cross.

Ireland is represented by the cross of St. Patrick(a diagonal red cross on a white background.)On 1 January 1801, Ireland was united with Great Britain and it became necessary to have a new National Flag in which Ireland was represented.
