The Union Flag is sometimes known as the Union Jack after its creator, James I of England, James VI of Scots. Jack comes from the Latin for James, Jacobus.
James became King of Scots at one year old when his mother Mary Queen of Scots was deposed by rebel Scottish Lords. James patiently waited another thirty-five years until his aunt, Elizabeth I of England died and he succeeded to the throne of England.
James wanted to unite his two kingdoms but the Parliaments of the two sovereign nations opposed it vigorously. James persistently asked his Parliaments to bring about a plan for union but they continually came up with objections. Meanwhile, James did what he could to effect a unification. Firstly, he declared himself ‘King of Great Britain’, a term he created for his new kingdom. James also minted a new coin, which could be used in either England or Scotland. He named it the ‘Unite’. It was worth five shillings in Sterling and three pounds in Scots. (The Scottish currency had been greatly devalued during James reign in Scotland).
Most importantly, James created the new flag overlaying the English cross of St George on the Scottish cross of St Andrew to form a new National Flag. He rejected other designs suggested by his advisors on the grounds that they were not ‘united’. The Union Flag was augmented in 1801 when Ireland became part of The United Kingdom.
James never saw the union of England and Scotland. His great granddaughter, Queen Anne, brought about the Union in 1707.

Ukraine's flag is blue over yellow, representing the sky over wheat fields, a common sight in the countryside.
Some Ukrainians put a trident device on the flag, this trident dates back over 1000 years, and spells the Ukrainian word for freedom.
I was there in 1991 when the ussr broke up. At the declaration of independence, the red flags came down and the blue and yellow - many of them hand made - appeared everywhere. Just 2 years earlier, people had been beaten by the police for having such a flag.
Because of my experiences there, and the joy of the people who became free without violence, I think Ukraine's flag is the most beautiful.

I think the best flag has got to be the flag of Canada.... Not only is in a beautiful eye catching red, it gains respect and admiration all over the world. Place a Canadian flag on your backpack and the globe will treat you like a King. It has become a symbol of peace and something I am proud to show on my exterior.
