		The flag of St Andrew is blue with a white diagonal cross and the flag of St Patrick is white with a red diagonal cross.
		The flag should always be flown with broader white diagonal in the higher position, nearest the top of the flagpole (as the earlier of the two to be placed on the flag, the cross of St Andrew, is entitled to the higher position).
		Wales is not represented in the Union Flag because when the first version of the flag appeared Wales was already united with England, but the Welsh flag is in widespread use throughout that country.

		The national flag of Wales, a red dragon on a field of white and green, dates from the 15th century and is widely used throughout Wales.
		The Union Flag should be flown with the broader diagonal band of white uppermost in the hoist (near the pole) and the narrower diagonal band of white uppermost in the fly (furthest from the pole).

		The flag is normally called the "Union Jack" because it represents a union of countries - England, Ireland, and Scotland and Wales (the flag does not include a flag from Wales because Wales was never ruled in the same way that the other countries were ruled).
		Actually it shouldn't be called the "Union Jack", because a jack is a flag that is flown on a jackstaff which is a small flag pole on the back of a naval ship.
		If your nation's flag has a little Union Jack in the corner of it, then your country is probably a member of the Commonwealth Nations which include: Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Tuvalu, the state of Hawaii, the Australian States and the three Canadian States.

	Glyndŵr's Banner, Wales
		The flag which is referred to as the 'Owen Glyndwr flag' is actually the the Prince of Wales flag and was used by Glyndwr as he claimed to be the true prince of Wales.
		The quartered and counterchanged flag was not Glyndwr's personal blazon (Glyndwr had been Arundel's squire in the Scottish campaigns and refused to pay the money demanded of him to furnish his knighthood - so I presume him to not be possessed of a personal coat of arms).
		Prior to Glyndwr, the previous elective twysog was Owain Llawgoch who was assassinated in France as he tried to assemble an invasion to attack England on the British mainland as an ally of the French king, and he was bearing this coat of arms in the wars there whilst Glyndwr fought in Scotland.

	St. Davids Flag (Wales)
		The Church was replaced in 1920 by a body called the Church in Wales (not of Wales) with a status of an autonomous province in communion with' the Church of England.
		At a meeting of the Governing Body of the Church in Wales in 1939 it was suggested that a flag should be made by reversing the colours of the armorial banner of the see of St David.
		There is therefore a space for a flag to commemorate St David, patron of the land, but does not reflect true Welshness as does the Ddraig Goch, and which would also be useful for Anglicans in that it consists of a Welsh version of the Cross of St George.

	Data Wales : The Welsh Flag and other Welsh symbols.
		The dragon standard was perhaps first seen in Britain in the shape of the "draco" a standard carried by the cohorts of the Roman legion.
		It is held that this dragon banner represented Henry Tudor's claim to be a true representative of the ancient kings of Britain and served as his tribute to the Welsh people who had made his victory possible.
		The dragon on the flag must, however, face to the left, be sited centrally and cover equal parts of the white and green panels.

	Telegraph \| Sport \| Ospreys fly the flag for Wales
		Despite a series of encouraging autumnal outings that were to pave the way for a first Grand Slam in 27 years, the performance of the Welsh national team bore no resemblance to that of three-quarters of the regional teams in Wales.
		As Mike Ruddock's Wales side grew in stature and confidence, beating all-comers after Christmas, so the regions, with the exception of the Neath-Swansea Ospreys, found themselves treading water at domestic and European level.
		The decision in Wales to abide by the agreement to rest the Lions players for the first month of the season will hit them hard in Swansea, but the coach, Lyn Jones, has spent his summer developing a decent set of dirt-trackers, good enough to remain competitive while the leading lights wait in the wings.

		Wales is a small country which is next to England (but not part of it!), although we are governed from London and so is part of the United Kingdom (or Disunited Kingdom as I prefer to call it).
		It has a population of roughly 2.5 million people, and amazingly still has its own language, Welsh, which is a Celtic langauge and is the successor of the language that was spoken in all of England and Wales before the Anglo-Saxons came in the 5th/6th centuries.
