The flag of the British Virgin Islands features a deep blue field which represents the surrounding ocean. On the fly side, it bears the Union Jack in the upper left corner, symbolizing the islands’ historical and political ties to the United Kingdom. Adjacent to the Union Jack is the territory’s coat of arms, set on a white disc. The coat of arms consists of a green shield with a lighter green silhouette of Saint Ursula surrounded by eleven lamps. These lamps represent the eleven thousand virgins associated with the legend of Saint Ursula, an emblematic figure from which the islands derive their name. The green color of the shield symbolizes the lush vegetation of the islands, and the white disc emphasizes peace and honesty. Overall, the flag’s design underscores the British Virgin Islands’ heritage, natural beauty, and its bond with Great Britain.
