Origin of the UK Union Jack Flag

The Union Flag was originally a Royal flag. When the present design was made official in 1801, it was ordered to be flown on all the King's forts and castles, but not elsewhere.

  It has a long history in Ireland.
  It represents Ireland nonetheless (well, now it represents Northern Ireland, but still).
