The United Kingdom's flag, the Union Jack, superimposes the crosses of three patron saints: the red cross of St George (England), the white saltire of St Andrew (Scotland) and the red saltire of St Patrick (Ireland), all on a blue field. Created in stages from 1606 and finalised in 1801, it symbolises the union of the kingdoms and has influenced flags worldwide.
