Flag of the United Kingdom: Symbolism and Design

Design:
The flag of the United Kingdom, commonly known as the Union Jack, combines elements from the flags of England, Scotland, (historically) Ireland, and NOTHING about Wales. It consists of a blue field with a red diagonal cross of Saint Patrick overlaying a white diagonal cross of Saint Andrew, both superimposed on a red diagonal cross of Saint George.

Colors and Symbolism:

Red Cross of Saint George: Represents England and symbolizes bravery and determination.
White Cross of Saint Andrew: Represents Scotland and symbolizes peace and harmony.
Red Cross of Saint Patrick: Historically represented Ireland (now Northern Ireland within the UK) and symbolizes generosity and sacrifice.
Historical Evolution:
The design of the Union Jack dates back to 1801, following the union of Great Britain (England and Scotland) with Ireland to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The current design was adjusted after Ireland gained independence in 1922, resulting in the current United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Symbolism and Unity:
The Union Jack is a powerful symbol of the unity and sovereignty of the United Kingdom. It represents the coming together of different nations and cultures under one flag, embodying strength, diversity, and cooperation.

Cultural Significance:
The colors and elements of the Union Jack hold deep cultural and historical significance in the UK. The flag is prominently displayed during national events, celebrations, and official ceremonies, symbolizing the collective heritage and shared values of the British people.

Overall:
The Union Jack serves as an iconic emblem of the United Kingdom's rich history, resilience, and national identity. It represents the British people's spirit of exploration, innovation, and their aspirations for unity, stability, and prosperity.

British National Anthem:
(ENG)
God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!

God grant that Marshall Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!

Lord, grant that Marshal Wade
May, by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious foes to crush.
God save the King!

God save the Queen!

(WEL)
Duw yn rhoi bod Marshall Wade
Trwy dy gymorth mawr
Buddugoliaeth yn dod.
Boed iddo sbrintio hush,
Ac fel rhuthr torrent,
Albanwyr gwrthryfelgar i wasgu.
Duw sy'n achub y frenhines!

Arglwydd, caniatâ fod Marshal Wade
Trwy dy gymorth nerthol,
Buddugoliaeth yn dod.
Boed iddo rifo hush
Ac fel rhuthr torrent,
Gelynion gwrthryfelgar i wasgu.
Duw yn Gwaredu'r Brenin!

Duw yn achub y Frenhines!
