Flag (large) - British Union Jack
rectangular-shaped fabric flag. Blue background with two crosses, red over white.
Formally, the correct term for the UK’s national flag is the Union Flag. When this flag is flown on land—at public buildings, during national events, or by civilians—it is technically the Union Flag. However, when the same design is flown on a naval ship, it is traditionally called the Union Jack, because it was originally flown as a small ensign at the bow (front) of British warships.
