The flag of Guernsey features two primary colors: red and white, which are symbolic and rich in meaning. The background is white, representing peace and honesty. A red cross, known as the St. George’s Cross, occupies the flag’s center, symbolizing bravery and strength. This cross is a traditional emblem of England and alludes to Guernsey’s historical ties to the United Kingdom. In addition, the flag includes a gold Norman cross within the area of the St. George’s Cross. This smaller gold cross reflects Guernsey’s Norman heritage, signifying the island’s long-standing connections to the Duchy of Normandy. The combination of these elements on the flag not only represents the island’s past affiliations but also its current status and values, highlighting Guernsey’s unique identity within the British Isles.
