The two traditional symbols of England are the St.George's cross(the English flag) and the three lions coat of arms
The bulldog is sometimes used as a symbol of the UK, although it is more commonly a symbol of Great Britain rather than the whole of the UK.

Heraldically,the lion represents England,while the unicorn represents Scotland.These are the supporters on the royal arms.Plant wise,the thistle represents Scotland,The Leek represents Wales,although the daffodil is also used.The Shramrock represents Ireland,or in the case of Great Britain,Northern Ireland.In political cartoons,the Lion is most often used,but there is a British equivalent of Uncle Sam-John Bull.Saint David is the patron saint of Wales,St.Patrick,of course,belongs to Ireland,St.Andrew is the Scottish national saint,while Saint George is the patron Saint of England.Remember,Great Britain is less a country than an Empire.Scotland is increasingly independent,and the Welsh maintain a strong national identity.
