Que représente the Union Jack Flag ? 
The flag of
Britain, commonly known as the Union Jack (which
derives from the use of the Union Flag on the jack-staff of naval vessels),
embodies the emblems of three countries under one Sovereign.
The emblems that appear on the Union Flag are the crosses
of three patron saints:
the red cross of
St. George, for England, on a white ground
the white diagonal
cross, or saltire, of St. Andrew, for Scotland,
on a blue ground
the red diagonal
cross of St Patrick, for Ireland, on a white ground.
