The Union Jack, also known as the Union Flag, is the national flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Crown Dependencies and the Overseas Territories, and is rooted in a 400-year history.
It is largely associated with ideals of pride and patriotism, which is why the flag has been proudly scattered and sported among the tens of thousands of spectators who have lined the streets to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's long life and reign following her death.
