Union Jack 400 years old today
Here's a little known fact, it was 400 years ago today that James I decreed that the flag of Scotland and England (St Andrew's cross and St George's cross) be combined and flown on Naval vessels. It was not until 1801 that the flag of Ireland (St Patrick's cross) was added to make the Union Jack we know today.
Most loyal Englishmen, Scotsmen, Irishmen and Welshmen most probably still prefer their individual flags, I know I do.
