Union Jack

Description

The Union Flag, commonly known as the Union Jack, is the flag of the United Kingdom. The terms “Union Flag” and “Union Jack” are both historically correct for describing the de facto national flag of the United Kingdom.

The ‘Jack’ designation came about when the national flag was flown from the ‘jack-staff’ of sailing ships.

The Union Flag is known by law in Canada as the Royal Union Flag, and used as an official flag in some of the smaller British overseas territories.

The current design dates from the Union of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801. The flag combines aspects of three national flags: the red cross of Saint George, the red saltire of Saint Patrick’s Flag, and the Flag of Scotland.
