"The national flag of Armenia, the Armenian Tricolour or Yeraguyn (known in Armenian: as Եռագույն, Yeřaguyn), consists of three horizontal bands of equal width, red on the top, blue in the middle, and orange (also described as "colour of apricot") on the bottom. The Armenian Supreme Soviet adopted the current flag on 24 August 1990. On 15 June 2006, the Law on the National Flag of Armenia, governing its usage, was passed by the National Assembly of Armenia.
Throughout history, there have been many variations of the Armenian flag. In ancient times, Armenian dynasties were represented by different symbolic animals displayed on their flags. In the twentieth century, various Soviet flags represented the Armenian nation.
The meanings of the colors have been interpreted in many different ways. For example, red has stood for the blood of the 1.5 million Armenians, blue for the Armenian pure sky, and orange represents the country's courage." (from Wikipedia)

Three historic (?) flags fly from homes on Pinckney Street in Annapolis.
DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP
The phrase "Don't give up the ship," uttered by Captain James Lawrence after being mortally wounded by enemy fire aboard the gunboat Chesapeake on June 1, 1813, became the battle cry of naval commander Oliver Hazard Perry who later used a blue battle flag emblazoned with the words.
JOHN SHAW FLAG
To prepare for the period when the United States Congress would meet in the Maryland State House, from November 26, 1783 to June 3, 1784, the Governor of Maryland commissioned local cabinetmaker John Shaw to create a U.S. flag. The flag was slightly different from other designs of the time, with the blue field extending over the entire height of the hoist. Shaw created two versions of the flag: one which started with a red stripe and another that started with a white stripe. One of the flags flew on the Maryland State House for nine months from November 1783 to August 1784 while Annapolis was used as the National Capital, and the United States Congress met there. The other flew over the governor's house.
CALVERT ARMS / KING'S COLORS
Often mistakenly called the "Maryland Colonial" flag, there is no historic or documentary proof that this blend of the black and gold diamonds from the Calvert family colors (The Calverts were the Lords Baltimore, lords proprietors of the Royal Colony of Maryland), with the the King's Colors of 1606 as the canton, was ever used during the colonial period. Rather it was first ordered by the governor of Maryland in 1976 for the bi-centennial as the design he liked with no historical proof that it was ever flown in Maryland. The only documentation or mention of a Maryland flag during the revolutionary period and earlier almost always refers solely to the Black and Gold Calvert arms.

The Lindsay name Is of Norman origin, from De Limesay, and first appeared in 12th century.
The flag seen here flies over the Norman Hedingham Castle, which dates from around 1140, and is owned by the Lindsays, in the County of Essex.
The Lindsays are direct descendants of the de Veres, one the longest and most illustrious line of nobles of England, and the star on the family standard dates from the First Crusade of 1098. During the Battle of Antioch, with night falling a brilliant star appeared on the standard being carried by Earl Aubrey de Vere. The battlefield was illuminated, victory was won, and the de Veres carried the star as their emblem ever since.
This was taken at Leeds Bradford Airport just after it had stopped raining and the sun came out. It was a very windy day.
