Heraldic flagsBanner: The blazon of the shield is applied to the whole surface of a square or a vertically or horizontally oriented rectangular flag. This is the Royal Banner of Scotland, which follows the blazon of the second quarter of the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom. Although it is the banner of the sovereign, it is widely but incorrectly used today as the national symbol.Fork-tailed pennon: Shown here is that of the Sovereign and Military Order of the Knights of Malta, in heraldic terms gules a cross argent.Standard: The Cross of St. George at the hoist identifies this as English. The profusion of badges, the diagonally placed motto, and the border of alternating tinctures are typical. This is the standard of Sir Henry Stafford, c. 1475.
