Just one correction, the Scottish component of the Union Flag is St Andrew's
cross. St David's Cross is Gold on a Black background, and is the ancient
National ymbol of Wales - it features nowhere in the Union Flag,
Cheers,

St. David being the Patron Saint of Wales. Isn't Wales an autonomous region?
