union jack flag

[Kim White]

Why is Wales not represented on the Union Flag?

[bernardo]

Because Wales (a principality) was politically incorporated into the state of England (a kingdom) in the 13th century, rather than being a union of two equal kingdoms. So the Union flag includes the flags of the three kingdoms (England Scotland and [Northern] Ireland).

[archbishop]

By the way Kim it's only called the Union Jack when flying from the jackstaff of a Royal naval ship,in all other cases it's just The Union Flag.

[Gary Mann]

I thought it was the flags of St.George, St.Andrew and St.David. Which would be England, Scotland and Wales. I always thought Ireland was part of the English kingdom. We've had prince of Wales, and Scotland but I don't remember any from Ireland.

No Gary Mann - a diagonal blue cross on a white background is St Patricks flag

This Site shows you all about the flag and how to draw it!

[mjackson]

Errrr, Rufio, the Union flag isn't the ENGLISH flag. what on earth are you talking about?

[murph3325]

What the hell! Wales is far more supreme than SCUMLAND (BETTER KNOWN AS EN**AND) which is why we are not in it. Shove that up your chariots and smoke it.

Wales defeated England in a Fast and Open Game. We won the Grand Slam and England were never seen again. 11-9 Welsh Army. Wales Forever, Diolch yn Fawr.

All the Best with you Flags

Murph!
