Union Jack Meaning & History

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland flag was adopted in 1801, combining the flags of its original member states: England, Ireland, and Scotland

The English flag consists of a simple red cross, forming the central basis of the UK flag. Since the British Union Jack flag predates the modern Irish flag, it uses the red diagonal cross from Saint Patrick’s Saltire to represent Ireland instead. This saltire is then outlined with the white cross from the Scottish flag. Wales does not have any unique markings on the flags of the UK since it was part of the Kingdom of England at the time of the flag’s creation.
