The flag is a heraldic red rose on a gold/yellow background. We couldnd't have a white background because one was already registered with The Flag Institute.
See the flag on the website of The Friends of Real Lancashire (FORL) :- www.forl.co.uk Look too at The Flag Institute's website
I have urged the FORL to undertake a major publicity campaign to tell folk about the flag.
I intend to post another item about Lancashire Day. |
I agree with your sentiments about on the Blackburn issue, and of the stupid signs on every boundary of the town both sides, a complete waste of money
