Northern Ireland 3' x 5' Outdoor Nylon Flag w/ Heading & Grommets

The "Ulster Banner" was the official name given to the former Government of Northern Ireland flag (a Red cross with a red hand a six pointed star and a crown). This flag is commonly referred to especially by unionists as the "Red Hand Flag" or as the "Ulster Flag" (not to be confused with the provincial Flag of Ulster). In 1924 the Government of Northern Ireland was granted arms by Royal Warrant and had the right to display these arms on a flag or banner. This right was exercised for the Coronation in 1953. Between 1953 and 1972 this flag was the arms of the Government of Northern Ireland and commonly used during this period as a de facto civil flag. It ceased to have official government sanction when the Parliament of Northern Ireland was dissolved by the British government in 1972. ⚠ Prop 65 WARNING
