The colors in the British flag represent the following:

White - Peace and honesty

Red - Hardness, strength, and valor

Blue - Vigilance, truth, loyalty, perseverance, and justice

The original English flag represented St. George. The UK flag of today represents the flags of the countries that comprise the UK. It includes St. Andrew's Cross of Scotland (the blue background and the white stripes), St. George's Cross of England, and St. Patrick's Cross of Ireland. Since Wales was already considered a part of England, it didn't have its own flag.
