The cross of St Andrew was added later when Ireland joined the United Kingdom.

    Ireland and England - though separate kingdoms had the same monarch since Henry VIII - not always a happy arrangement though!

    While QEII is our head of state, having the Union Jack on our flag is appropriate, even though I dont actually approve of this fact personally.

    hey L-A-L, You seem pretty good on the computer, I'm hopeless. My ideas for you to play with.....how about our coat of arms in the corner.....with our indigenous flag as the full background overlayed with the southern cross. Can you do it? Or someone else clever at this stuff do it?
