Herefordshire, one of the final three historic counties in England without a community flag is to launch a competition in 2019. The Flag Institute are supporting this and will provide further information once the competition is open for submissions. So get your thinking caps on in readiness!
Once Herefordshire appears on the registry this will only leave Leicestershire and Hampshire left in England.
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
