Dhekelia Flag Description:

The flag of Great Britain represents the flags of three countries that are united under one Sovereign and is a combination of their heraldic flags: The flag of England is represented by the St. George's Cross, which is a red cross on a white base. Scotland is represented by the St. Andrew's cross, which is the white diagonal cross on a blue base and Northern Ireland is represented by the St. Patrick's Cross, which is the red diagonal cross on a white base.

Dhekelia Flag Information:

The red cross, outlined in white, is the cross of St. George, the patron saint of England, and represents England and Wales. The white diagonal cross on a blue base is the cross of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, and represents Scotland. The red diagonal cross on a white base is the cross of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. When the cross of St. Patrick was incorporated into the flag in 1801 it represented all of Ireland but in the 1920s most of Ireland became a separate country and since then the cross has only represented Northern Ireland.
