The British flag, known as the Union Jack, was first officially used in 1606. It was created by combining the crosses of St. George (patron saint of England) and St. Andrew (patron saint of Scotland) to form a single flag for both nations. The design was later updated in 1801 to include St. Patrick's cross for Ireland, resulting in the current version of the flag.
