The British Union (Jack) flag is made up of the three national flags of England, Scotland and Ireland, as you can see here :-
I recently got an Email asking about the "true" colours of the Union Flag. They are:-
Pantone --- WebSafe ----- RGB-------------------- CMYK
280-----------#003399------0-13.5-39------------100-72-0.18 ----- Union Flag Blue
186-----------#cc0000------85.9.11.7-13.8-------0-91.76-6 ------- Union Flag Red
Another Email asked me on which days must the Union Flag be flown. They are:-
Queen's Accession = 6th February
Prince Andrew's Birthday = 19th February
St David's Day [Wales] = 1st March
