About United Kingdom Flag

A rectangular flag with a deep navy-blue field overlaid by a bold red upright cross edged in white that reaches each side. Superimposed on and behind the upright cross are diagonal white saltires (X-shaped) with narrower red diagonal stripes offset within them, creating a layered, symmetric pattern across the flag.

The composition uses three flat colours (dark blue, bright red and white) and strong geometric lines — vertical/horizontal bars and diagonal wedges — producing a highly contrasting, heraldic appearance.
