The Union Jack consists of three main elements: the red cross of St George, representing England; the white diagonal cross of St Andrew, representing Scotland; and the red diagonal cross of St Patrick, representing Ireland. These elements are layered over a blue field, symbolizing the unity of these nations within the United Kingdom. The design reflects the historical union of England, Scotland, and Ireland, with Wales represented by the red dragon in the country's own flag.
