The Flag Institute is an educational charity, and we work hard to spread knowledge and understanding of flags to all age-groups.
For that reason we are especially pleased to have been featured on CBBC’s Newsround this week.
On Tuesday FI President, Malcolm Farrow, somehow managed to make flags sound appealing to CBBC youngsters, the international listeners of the BBC’s World Service and Radio Five Live’s afternoon drive-time audience – all in one day.
Quite a feat.
Our friends @TheHeraldrySoc have talked to the Flag Institute's own Communities Vexillologist about how he got into flags and how that led to the world of heraldry and huge state ceremonies
