The East Anglia flag: St George and the three crowns
The East Anglia flag is the red cross of St George on white with a blue shield at the centre carrying three gold crowns, two above and one below. The crowns are the arms attributed to the old Kingdom of East Anglia and to its martyr king, St Edmund, and they have been the badge of the region for seven centuries: they are on the arms of Bury St Edmunds, of the diocese of Ely and of the University of East Anglia, and the three crowns turn up on church towers from Norwich to Woodbridge. Placing the shield on St George’s cross marks East Anglia as a region of England rather than a county, and the flag is flown across Norfolk, Suffolk and the Isle of Ely wherever people want something broader than a single county. Our East Anglia flag is that design in two grades and four sizes.
St Edmund’s Day and the East Anglian year
St Edmund’s Day is 20 November, when the crowns fly at Bury St Edmunds, Hoxne and Hunstanton for the king killed by the Danes in 869. Through the year the flag goes up for the Royal Norfolk Show at Costessey in June and the Suffolk Show at Trinity Park in May, Norwich City at Carrow Road and Ipswich Town at Portman Road, the Aldeburgh Festival at Snape, Latitude at Henham, the Southwold and Cromer piers and the Cromer carnival, the Wells and Blakeney harbours, the Norfolk Broads and the Three Rivers race, Newmarket on race days, the Sandringham flower show, King’s Lynn festival, the Ely eel festival, Framlingham and Orford castles, Sutton Hoo, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth on the seafront, and on garden poles in Thetford, Diss and Stowmarket for jubilees and coronations. The events calendar keeps the dates.
Sizes, grades and fittings
East Anglia flags are stocked in 20x12in for a hand pole, a car or a desk, 3ft x 2ft for a wall, a Broads cruiser or a short mast, 5ft x 3ft for a 6m garden pole, a pub or a beach hut, and 8ft x 5ft for a showground, a cathedral close or a tall fixed pole. Flagtex is the printed woven-polyester grade for a show weekend or a match; DuraFlag is the heavier knitted-polyester grade, hemmed and double stitched, for a coastal or Fenland pole that gets the wind straight off the North Sea all year. Eyelets come on both grades, and the DuraFlag is also available with rope and toggle for a halyard.
East Anglia bunting
East Anglia bunting repeats the cross and crowns on rectangular pennants in 3m and 9m lengths. Three metres does a bar, a beach hut or a classroom, nine metres runs along a village hall, a boathouse or a market stall, and a few strings tied together will cross Angel Hill in Bury or the market place in Swaffham for a festival.
Hand flags and table flags
East Anglia hand flags are 9x6in on wooden sticks for a parade, a school or the showground at Costessey. On the desk there is the East Anglia table flag with base at 6x4in, the 9x6in wooden table flag and the satin table flag for a council chamber, a civic dinner or a reception. Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex each have their own under county flags.
