History
The national flag of the United Kingdom is the Union Flag, also known as the Union Jack.
The design of the Union Jack dates back to the Act of Union 1801 which united the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland (previously in Personal union) to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The flag consists of the red Cross of Saint George (patron saint of England), edged in white, superimposed on the Cross of Saint Patrick (patron saint of Ireland), which are superimposed on the Saltire of Saint Andrew (patron saint of Scotland). Wales is not represented in the Union Flag by Wales's patron saint, Saint David, because the flag was designed while Wales was part of the Kingdom of England.
Wales, 1 March: Saint David's Day
Northern Ireland, 17 March: Saint Patrick's Day
England, 23 April: Saint George's Day
Scotland, 30 November: Saint Andrew's Day
