Although the formal and traditional name of the British national flag is the Union Flag, it is more commonly known as the Union Jack. The flag is a combination of crosses. The red upright cross represents St. George, the patron saint of England; St. Andrew’s cross of Scotland is the white diagonal one, and the red diagonal cross is of St. Patrick of Ireland (now representing North Ireland).
