White - Peace and honesty
Red - Hardness, strength, and valor
Blue - Vigilance, truth, loyalty, perseverance, and justice
The original English flag represented St. George. The UK flag of today represents the flags of the countries that comprise the UK. It includes St. Andrew's Cross of Scotland (the blue background and the white stripes), St. George's Cross of England, and St. Patrick's Cross of Ireland. Since Wales was already considered a part of England, it didn't have its own flag.
Britain's flag is the Union Flag which symbolises the union of England ,Scotland and Ireland to form Great Britain. Southern Ireland has since left the union. The red cross (of St George) represents England, the white saltire (or x-shaped cross) on a blue background of St Andrew represents Scotland and the red saltire represented Ireland. The latter is superimposed on the white saltire of Scotland.
At the time of the union of Scotland and England in 1707, the new Kingdom needed a flag to represent it. The cross of St George was used by the Kingdom of England as it's flag and the easiest solution was to place the Cross of St Andrew 'underneath' it to represent Scotland. When Ireland joined the union in 1801, the cross of St Patrick was placed in the white diagonals.
The flag of England is the St Georges Cross which is a red 'plus' cross on a white background. If you mean the Union Flag, it is a combination of the flags of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The British Union Flag is made up of the broad white diagonal cross of St Andrew, on a blue background of Scotland; the broad red cross of St George on a white background; and the diagonal red cross of St Patrick, Ireland. There is no Welsh symbol as Wales is represented by the English cross of St George.
The Union Flag is a combination of the flags of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
