England my England

[johncar54]

The "Union Jack" or "Union Flag" is a composite design made up of three different national symbols:

The flag of England, St. George's Cross, (red cross on a white background)

The flag of Scotland St. Andrew's Cross (White diagonal cross on blue background)

And

The flag of Ireland St. Patrick's Cross, (red diagonal cross on a white background)



Thus:-

We're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue

should have been, the red and white.
