England flag history Videos

Hello, friends! I`m Anna Dianina and welcome to my channel. Look, I`m standing next to the BF and today we`re speaking about it. Let`s get started! The BF is the most recognizable flag in the world. It`s very popular and there`re many things with its picture on them, ex. dishes, btw. I`ve got such a mug, but I don`t use it for drinking, I use it for keeping pens, pencils, scissors and all that stuff. You can find the picture of the BF on clothes, jewellery, manicure, etc. Well, many people know this flag, but only few people know the history of it. I`ll tell you about it in brief. So, this is the national flag of the United Kingdom. It`s red, white and blue. The BF is also called “The Union Jack”, i.e. the union of 3 countries: England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. If you look at the flag more attentively you can see 3 crosses on it. To make it easier for you to understand I`ve prepared such flashcards. It`s a red cross on a white field. It`s St. George`s cross, the patron of England. The Scottish flag has got St. Andrew`s cross, the patron of Scotland. And the last cross is St. Patrick`s cross, the patron of Northern Ireland. And now some historical facts. In 1603 Яков, the king of Scotland, also became the king of England. He had to rule both countries. As England and Scotland had their own flags, it was decided to unite them. That`s why later on the BF was called “The Union Jack”. “Jack” i.e. “Яков”. After some time, the Northern part of Ireland was invaded and the third cross appeared on the flag. And only Wales (the fourth country of The United Kingdom) has got its own flag “The Red Dragon”. Well, that`s all for now. I hope everything is clear now and this information is useful for you. If you like the video, give it a thumb up and subscribe for my channel. See you later, bye!

Ugly flag to represent an ugly country.

The "Caribbean flag" gentleman is not comparing like with like. The site is not in the Caribbean, and so there is no need for a Caribbean flag. And do not get me started on that young woman and her "diversity" argument. At the end of the day, it's Britain and entitled to its flag.

There is nothing to be proud of anymore with this flag. Learn the real history of Britain and its actions not the jingoist propaganda. And yes I am British and both my Grand parents fought for Britain. That flag was hijacked a long time ago. Time for Britain to be a Republic.

OMG!!!! You sound sooooo different!!!! Nice job on the video!!!! I might be visiting MN this summer btw ;p and it would be totally legit if we could see each other!!!! XOXOXO

Ah yes, and the Red Dragon defeated the white dragon.

This.....IS my flag.....and no other flag represents England other than this one does.
