The Gabon flag: forest, equator and ocean
Gabon's flag has three equal horizontal bands of green, yellow and blue. Green stands for the rainforest that covers most of the country, yellow for the equator, which runs right through Gabon, and blue for the Atlantic coastline. The flag was adopted in 1960, the year Gabon gained independence from France; an earlier version had a narrower yellow band and the French tricolour in the canton. Unlike most African flags it leaves out the classic pan-African red. On our Gabon flag the three bands are equal in height.
Independence Day, rainforest and football
Gabon became independent on 17 August 1960. Around a tenth of the country is protected in national parks, including Loango, where elephants and hippos walk on the beaches, and Lopé, a UNESCO site. On the football field the Panthers have produced stars such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who captained Arsenal and shared the Premier League Golden Boot. Gabonese students and fans in Britain fly the flag on 17 August and on Africa Cup of Nations nights.
Sizes, grades and fittings
Gabon flags come in 20x12in, 3ft x 2ft, 5ft x 3ft and 8ft x 5ft from £6.99. Fans tend to choose 5ft x 3ft; a 20x12in fits a car window. Flagtex gives you a light printed flag at a keen price, and DuraFlag gives you a weightier knitted flag meant for months on a pole, with eyelets, clips or rope and toggle.

Gabon bunting lays the green, yellow and blue bands along rectangular pennants in 3m and 9m lengths for a watch party or a school Africa day.

Gabon hand flags come on wooden sticks in 9x6in and 18x12in. The Gabon table flag is 6x4in with base, and the large wooden table flag 18x12in. Cameroon, the Congo and Equatorial Guinea are in our world flags.
