Notes: | The East Anglia Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic region. The flag consists of the red St George’s Cross of England, combined with a blue shield bearing three gold crowns. The three gold crowns on blue are also the arms of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of East Anglia. Medieval heralds ascribed them to the kingdom and to its earliest ruling dynasty, the Wuffingas (c. 599β749 CE). |
