England, Derbyshire (Traditional)
Thousands of people in Derbyshire helped choose this flag to represent Derbyshire via the BBC Derby website. The blue is one of the traditional colours of Derbyshire and represents the rivers and reservoirs too, the cross marks the fact that Derbyshire is at the centre of the country and it's green because Derbyshire is a lush county with outstanding countryside. The symbol in the middle is the Tudor Rose, which has been Derbyshire's Royally awarded county badge for over 500 years and it's been used in many county symbols and coats of arms over that time. The rose is in gold (as it is on the county cricket club logo) to symbolise quality and avoid confusion with Lancashire and Yorkshire. The flag was designed by Martin Enright from Derby, a listener to Andy Whittaker's Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Derby which spearheaded the campaign to get a Derbyshire flag.
MrFlag Brand Traditional Flags are manufactured using a combination of traditional sewing using a woven polyester fabric designed specifically for the flag industry, and the appliqué of printed knitted polyester for more complicated elements.
Each flag is reinforced with a tuck at the heading, and the individual sections are joined using fell and run interlocking seams, and are fitted with the traditional British rope and wood toggle.
MrFlag Brand Traditional flags are amongst the most durable flags available, and resist colour fading well, however their traditional construction makes them heavier than other types of flag and they are not well suited to low wind situations.
