Meaning
The flag of the United Kingdom, combining the red cross of St George, the white saltire of St Andrew, and the red saltire of St Patrick on a blue field. It commonly represents the UK itself, and appears in contexts involving British people, places, culture, or events. It can also stand for the constituent nations collectively, though England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland each have their own flags. Usage is sometimes ambiguous, since it may refer to the state, the island of Great Britain, or British identity broadly.
