Description

Yet another flag. This time for my U.K. fans! :-) (Source: wikipedia.org) The Union Jack is normally twice as long as it is tall, a ratio of 1:2. In the United Kingdom, land flags are normally a ratio of 3:5; the Union Jack can also be made in this shape, but is 1:2 for most purposes. In 2008, MP Andrew Rosindell proposed a Ten Minute Rule bill to standardize the design of the flag at 3:5, but the bill did not proceed past the first reading.[25] Flags that have the Union Jack in the canton should always be 1:2 to preserve the square fly area.[clarification needed] The three component crosses that make up the Union Flag are sized as follows: The red St George's Cross width is 1⁄5 of the flag's height with a 1⁄15 flag height fimbriation The white diagonal St Andrew's Cross width is 1⁄15 of the flag's height and the broader white diagonal's width is 1⁄10 of the flag's height The red diagonal St Patrick's Cross width is 1⁄15 of the flag's height and the narrow white diagonal's width is 1⁄30 of the flag's height Another way of looking at it is that the white diagonal St Andrew's Cross and the red diagonal St Patrick's Cross sit side-by-side along the centre-lines of the diagonals. They each have a width of 1⁄15 of the flag's height with a 1⁄30 flag height fimbriation. The crosses are slightly pinwheeled with St Andrew's Cross leading in the clockwise direction. The centre-lines of the diagonals must meet in the centre (as shown on the diagram). The three crosses retain their thickness whether they are shown with a ratio of 3:5 or 1:2
