  Our old large flag is up...
  
  .... it is on its last legs, is now 66 years old, was bought for Victory Day 1945 to go over mother's shop front...
  
  it has a few holes now but has seen a lot of national and royal occasions over the years...
  
  has covered many tables and was once used for the unveiling of a WW II memorial.
  
  Well done flag !

  Brilliant Kath. I bet that flag wasn't made in China.

  I think it is made of fine linen, hence the long-life! And well stitched..

  good to see it's the right way up too! So often people hang it upside down.

  Love your flag Kath! Theres something about the Union Jack that always makes me feel good and patriotic. Hope everyone, including the happy couple, has a good time on Friday - I love a good wedding
  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".
