What do the colors mean on the English flag?

Answer 1

Answer The flag of the United Kingdom is actually a combination of three flags representing England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The colours of the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland come from a combination of the following:

The cross of St George (representing England): red cross on a white background .

The cross of St Andrew (representing Scotland): white saltire on a blue background (added to the flag after the Act of Union between England and Scotland in 1707).

The cross of St Patrick (representing Northern Ireland): Red saltire on a white background (added to the flag after the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland in 1801).

The amalgamated flag is properly called the Union flag, though it's most often referred to as the Union Jack.
