Flag of the United Kingdom

To celebrate the “Diamond Jubilee” of Queen Elizabeth II, Little Thetford will hold a “Picnic in the Field“. We are looking for ideas and helpers. Please come along to the meeting on Wednesday 21 March at the Social Club lounge at 8.15pm.

Unless signalling distress, the Union Jack should be flown the correct way up. The Wikipedia article Union Flag tells us “The broad portion of the white cross of St Andrew should be above the red band of St Patrick (and the thin white portion below) in the upper hoist canton (the corner at the top nearest to the flag-pole), giving the Scottish symbol precedence over the Irish symbol. This is expressed by the phrases wide white top and broad side up”.
