It does symbolize different regions of the UK (not four though). Please tell me which part of the flag stands for which part of UK and when the part was added to the flag.

Upper left- scotland
Upper Right- Wales
Lower half- England

:huh: The British flag is rather symetrical. Except for being mirrored there is no difference between upper left and upper right or lower half and upper half.
Wales is not represented in the Union Jack. The different parts of the UK each have an individual symbol in it. Name the symbols, the kingdoms and when each part was added.

It's very easy to find out about this at google.

As this question seems to be of no interest, here is a new one:
Whose Secretary's responsibilities include Scotland in the UK government?

Nick22 · **Reply #145 on:** May 29, 2005, 04:56:23 PM

Secretary of Defense?

Which was the blodies battle ever to be fought on English soil?

Nick22 · **Reply #150 on:** August 16, 2005, 08:56:35 PM

The Battle of Hastings?

Malte279 · **Reply #151 on:** August 17, 2005, 06:01:29 AM

Nope. For all I know there were more casualties in the battle I'm thinking of than there were partitcipants in the battle of Hastings.

Nick22 · **Reply #152 on:** August 18, 2005, 06:31:42 PM

Let me google then...

Towton in 1461...

Malte279 · **Reply #157 on:** August 24, 2005, 03:21:14 AM

Quite right! A battle fought during the so called War of the Roses between the English houses of York and Lancaster.
Your turn Nick.

Nick22 · **Reply #158 on:** August 24, 2005, 10:02:30 AM

How did the War of the Roses start?

Malte279 · **Reply #159 on:** August 25, 2005, 06:58:41 AM

Young and incompetent king Henry IV became insane in 1453 leaving a vacuum of power. Richard Duke of York claimed the throne. Queen Margaret of Anjou, a member of the House of Lancaster (who wanted to see her son as the heir to the throne) objected. We all know how such "objections" turn out if a throne is at stake -_-
