Do you know what each of these flags represent? At the top of the Rock of Gibraltar they have three flags flying. The Union Jack is in the middle, as Gibraltar is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. The flag on the right is the flag of Gibraltar while the flag on the left is the flag of the European Union. Gibraltar has a complicated history, as this small peninsula, has been occupied by the Moors, the Spanish and British.

Finalement emporter un petit drapeau de chaque pays du monde était une bonne idée : après tout, de nombreuses nations n'avaient jamais vu leurs couleurs dans l'espace - et maintenant si 😊 On les a suspendus au plafond, ça donnait un petit côté trek au Népal – mais encore plus haut ;) J'ai commencé à regretter ma décision quand il a fallu les ranger... Ils sont tous accrochés sur un long ruban et la première chose que font les cordes, câbles, ficelles, rubans, etc dans l'espace ? Ils s'emmêlent évidemment – pire que les câbles d'écouteurs sur Terre ! Mark et Shane ont été obligés de venir à ma rescousse 😅
It seemed like taking with me a tiny flag of every single country in the world was a good idea – after all, lots of countries hadn’t been to space yet, now they have – I regretted my decision slightly when I had to repack them… they’re all strung together on a cord, which in space automatically turns into a big old bag of knots… Mark and Shane had to rescue me!

Uiteraard wapperden de Nederlandse vlaggen overal tijdens Bevrijdingsdag 2018, maar op de boulevard van Katwijk hing ook de IJslandse vlag.

Naturally, the Dutch flags fluttered everywhere during Liberation Day 2018, but on the boulevard of Katwijk also hung the Icelandic flag.

Birth of the National Flag of Canada
At the time of Confederation, Canada's national flag remained the Royal Union Flag (Union Jack). However, Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first Prime Minister, flew the Canadian Red Ensign as a distinctive flag of Canada. Following the Second World War, in 1945, an Order in Council authorized the flying of the Canadian Red Ensign from federal government buildings, in Canada and abroad.
In 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson made the creation of a new Canadian flag a priority. John Matheson, Member of Parliament, was Prime Minister Pearson's key advisor and supporter in this objective. On June 15, 1964, the Prime Minister presented his proposed flag to the House of Commons, launching a divisive Canadian flag debate. After three months without resolution, the question of a national flag was referred to an all-party committee.
In October 1964, after eliminating thousands of proposals, the Special Committee on a Canadian Flag was left with three possible designs: one incorporating three red maple leaves with blue bars (nicknamed the "Pearson Pennant"), a flag with a single stylized red maple leaf on a white square with red bars, and another version that contained both the Union Jack and three fleurs-de-lis.
On October 29, 1964, the committee recommended to the House of Commons that the single-leaf, red and white design be adopted. Debate in Parliament continued, however, and it was only at the early hour of 2:15 a.m. on December 15, 1964, that the motion to adopt the National Flag of Canada was carried by a vote of 163 to 78. Approval by the Senate came on December 17, 1964, and on January 28, 1965, the National Flag of Canada was proclaimed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, to take effect on February 15, 1965.
The inspiration for a red and white flag came from Dr. George Stanley, Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario. Impressed by the Commandant's flag at the College (a mailed fist holding three maple leaves on a red and white ground), Dr. Stanley suggested to Mr. John Matheson a similar design with a single red maple leaf at the centre. This red - white - red pattern bore a strong sense of Canadian history: the combination had been used as early as 1899 on the General Service Medal issued by Queen Victoria.

LEGO Flags of the World. How many do you recognize?
At some point in 2006 I built the Canadian flag. A little while later I built the Swiss flag. Then I suddenly found myself on a flag building bender.
I ended up with 28 in total. I was going to display them with my world map at Brickfest 2006, but since I forgot the map at home, I never bothered taking them out of the car.

Every year for Memorial Day, a local bank and our mall display a field of flags. I admire their show of respect for the sacrifice each and every member of the United States military makes for our country each day. I was lucky enough to capture a great shot of Old Glory waving in the sunshine.

Le monument aux morts de Tréguier dans les Côtes d'Armor, est appelé "La Pleureuse". Il a été réalisé par Francis Renaud.
Le sculpteur a demandé à Marie-Louise Le Put, devenue veuve au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, de lui servir de modèle. En effet, elle perdit ses trois fils très jeunes puis son mari...Elle est habillée de la mante de deuil, avec une grande capuche protégeant sa coiffe.
Le monument de Tréguier fut inauguré, le 2 juillet 1922.
Over 100 flags of England in support of the England football team during the UEFA Euro 2024 football tournament on display at a house on Kings Road in the City of Chelmsford in the County of Essex (UK).
The gentleman owner of this house does this at every major football tournament and also makes a huge effort with his Christmas lights display every December.

The problem with flags is, well, as you'll appreciate, they have a nasty habit of moving which makes them decidedly less than an ideal subject for a HDR shot, let alone a held-held HDR or so I used to think.

Looking back 100 years.
Newfoundland Memorial Park, Beaumont Hamel, France.
During the First World War, Newfoundland was a largely rural Dominion of the British Empire with a population of 240,000, and not yet part of Canada. The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 led the Government of Newfoundland to recruit a force for service with the British Army. Even though the island had not possessed any formal military organization since 1870, enough men soon volunteered that an entire battalion was formed, and later maintained throughout the war. The regiment trained at various locations in the United Kingdom and increased from an initial contingent of 500 men to full battalion strength of 1,000 men, before being deployed.
01/07/1916 The Somme.
At 8:45 a.m. the Newfoundland Regiment and 1st Battalion of the Essex Regiment received orders to move forward. The Newfoundland Regiment was situated at St. John's Road, a support trench 250 yards (230 m) behind the British forward line and out of sight of the enemy. Movement forward through the communication trenches was not possible because they were congested with dead and wounded men and under shell fire.
Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Lovell Hadow, the battalion commander, decided to move immediately into attack formation and advance across the surface, which involved first navigating through the British barbed wire defences. As they breasted the skyline behind the British first line, they were effectively the only troops moving on the battlefield and clearly visible to the German defenders.
Subjected to the full force of the 119th (Reserve) Infantry Regiment, most of the Newfoundland Regiment who had started forward were dead, dying or wounded within 15 to 20 minutes of leaving St. John's Road trench. Most reached no further than the Danger Tree, a skeleton of a tree that lay in No Man's Land that was being utilized as a landmark.
So far as can be ascertained, 22 officers and 758 other ranks were directly involved in the advance. Of these, all the officers and slightly under 658 other ranks became casualties. Of the 780 men who went forward only about 110 survived unscathed, of whom only 68 were available for roll call the following day. For all intents and purposes the Newfoundland Regiment had been wiped out, the unit as a whole having suffered a casualty rate of approximately 80%. The only unit to suffer greater casualties during the attack was the 10th Battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment, attacking west of Fricourt village.

I didn't know whether to post this. Tried several times and changed my mind. I went online and researched flag etiquette. This image is not intended to be disrespectful to the American Flag. I found this little flag washed up on my favourite beach after a recent storm. It is my most interesting beach find yet. We live 20 miles from Washington State, across the Juan de Fuca Strait. I gazed at this flag for awhile and wondered what story it could tell. Where did it originate? How far did it come? After this shot I rescued it and it now occupies a place in my photo room.
