Closed Add An Emblem To The Union Jack So It Gets Flown The Right Way Up

Closed on

Choose an emblem to add to the Union Jack. It is frequently flown upside down, as many people don't even realise there is a right and wrong way. If an emblem is added, this should aid the correct flying of our national flag.

I am fed up of seeing our flag flown incorrectly. The final straw, which incited me to start this petition, was attending events in Denmark & Sweden where, with our Queen having just passed away, our national flag was flown at half-mast. Initially I saw this as a lovely sign of respect. That was until I realised that it wasn't the right way up. Still, if many of our own people can't fly it correctly, there's no hope for the rest of the world!
