The Union Jack is simply the combining of three crosses:

- The cross of St Andrew; a white diagonal cross on a blue background, representing Scotland.

- The cross of St George; a red cross on a white background, representing England.

- The cross of St Patrick; a red diagonal cross on a white background, originally representing Ireland, now just Northern Ireland.

Wales is not represented on the flag, as it was legally a part of England when the flag was designed.
