Notes: | The Huntingdonshire Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic English county. The flag consists of a gold beribboned hunting horn on a green field. It comes from the crest of the former Huntingdonshire County Council coat of arms (1937), where a lion rampant holds it in its grasp. The hunting horn also appears in older civic heraldry. Examples include the arms of the former Borough of Huntingdon and Godmanchester (1961-74). |
