Answer The flag of the United Kingdom is actually a combination of three flags representing England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The colours of the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland come from a combination of the following:
The cross of St George (representing England): red cross on a white background .
The cross of St Andrew (representing Scotland): white saltire on a blue background (added to the flag after the Act of Union between England and Scotland in 1707).
The cross of St Patrick (representing Northern Ireland): Red saltire on a white background (added to the flag after the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland in 1801).
The amalgamated flag is properly called the Union flag, though it's most often referred to as the Union Jack.

∙ 12y agoThey are a combination of the english and scottish flags, the blue part and the white cross that goes fromthe corners is the scottish part. And,the red cross and the white that is on either side of it is the English part. The reason for it is that scotland and england had diffrent kings/queens until James the first, so he desided that they needed to merge the two flags together to comemerate the fact that both countries were now ruled by the same king.
