The flags of England and of Scotland are ancient war flags which became by usage the national flags of the Kingdom of England (which included Wales) and of the Kingdom of Scotland respectively and continued in use until the [[Act of Union 1707]]. Thereafter, they were as ''de facto'' flags of those parts of the United Kingdom. The flag of Wales was formalised in 1959, but has ancient origins; the dragon was used as a battle-flag by countless Welsh rulers, the current flag being a redesign of the flag carried by [[Henry VII of England|Henry Tudor]].<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history/sites/themes/society/flag_war.shtml BBC Wales History: 'The dragon and war']</ref> The [[Flag of Northern Ireland]] is controversial.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newstalk.com/Why-is-there-no-Northern-Irish-flag-in-the-new-Emoji-update|title=Why is there no Northern Irish flag in the new Emoji update?|date=31 March 2017|access-date=1 December 2019|last=Dempsey|first=James|work=News Talk}}</ref> The coat of arms of the Government of Northern Ireland, a red cross on a white field, [[Defacement (flag)|defaced]] with a [[Red Hand of Ulster]] within a six pointed star topped with a crown, became used as a local flag, though the end of the province's Government in 1973 ended its official status. This flag has continued to be the internationally recognisable de facto flag of Northern Ireland through its use by international sporting organisations (for example [[FIFA]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/associations/association=nir/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070614054719/http://www.fifa.com/associations/association=nir/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=14 June 2007 |title=Northern Ireland on |publisher=FIFA.com |date=15 October 2012 |access-date=14 November 2012}}</ref> [[UEFA]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/countries/association=63/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070121160234/http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/countries/association=63/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 January 2007 |title=Member associations – |publisher=[[UEFA]] |access-date=14 November 2012}}</ref> and the [[Commonwealth Games]])<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thecgf.com/countries/intro.asp?loc=NIR |title=Commonwealth Games Federation – Commonwealth Countries – Introduction |publisher=Thecgf.com |access-date=14 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170902181356/http://www.thecgf.com/countries/intro.asp?loc=NIR |archive-date=2 September 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> to represent Northern Ireland, though locally it has the allegiance mainly of the Unionist community.

==British Overseas Territories==
In 1999, the maritime flags of the British Overseas Territories were updated at the request of the [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Defence]].{{citation needed|date=September 2020}} The white discs were removed from the field of the flags and each respective coat of arms was increased in size for ease of identification. As the MoD only had authority over sea flags, the governments of the Overseas Territories were free to continue using the flags with white discs on land. The Overseas Territories' governments did switch to the updated flags over a staggered period of time, however some old-style flags with white discs may still be seen. Such flags have generally been adopted by [[Order in Council]]. Civil (Red Ensign) flags are under the control of the United Kingdom Secretary of State for Transport and are split into two categories: Category 1 is to register ships of unlimited tonnage and type. Category 2 is to register commercial ships and yachts of up to 150 gross registered tons.<ref>[http://www.redensigngroup.org/terms-of-reference.aspx Red Ensign Group]</ref>
