The United Kingdom's Royal Flag is a symbol for the monarchy. Each member of the Royal House has their own standards, which are flown at half mast. The Commonwealth has its own standard, which is used by the Queen. Continue reading to learn more about the differences among the three standards. This article will explain the differences between royal standards, and how to identify them. It is also possible to find out the personal Commonwealth standards of the Queen.
The Queen's personal Commonwealth Flag
The Queen's personal Commonwealth flag has many uses, as it is not actually the Head of Commonwealth flag. Many Commonwealth countries have their flags with the country's arms, and they fly them when the monarch visits. The flag is also flown in non-monarchical Commonwealth countries where the monarch has no personal flag. It is often used in military campaign. The Queen's personal Flag is not only used to symbolize the monarchy but it also serves as an international symbol of friendship.
The Royal House members have their own standards
Members of the Royal House, apart from the official flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands have their own standard. The Prince Of Wales, who is now Queen Elizabeth II, flies her standard from Clarence House. Other Royal House members do not usually fly their personal standards from home, but they share official residences located in London. As such, the use of personal standards varies between members of the Royal House.
It represents the monarchy
The Royal flag is the official symbol of the monarchy in the United Kingdom. The flag can be divided into four quadrants to represent Ireland, Scotland, England and Scotland. The first and fourth quadrants represent England, with three gold lions walking. The second- and third quadrants of the map represent Scotland. A red lion stands on its hind foot. The arms of Edinburgh City are located in the third and fourth quarters.
It is flown at half mast
The flag of Royal Families is flown half-mast on most government buildings in the UK, including the Houses of Parliament. Proclamation Day, the flag is flown at half-mast. Outside the palaces, half-mast is used for the Royal Standard. Flags are flown at half mast at official events such as the coronavirus free funeral of Prince Philip at Windsor Castle on his final day.
It is a banner of the coat of arms of the Principality of Wales
Many flags in the country feature the Welsh coat of arms, including that of the Principality of Wales. The Princes of Wales wore their coat of arms since 1910, and the Gwynedd dynasty was the last to wear its coat of arms. The Gwynedd arms are blazoned with four lions passant guardant and armed, and langued Azure.
It is flown to Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace often hosts the Royal Flag. The Union Flag is traditionally flown at half-mast during mourning periods. It was only twenty-years ago that this changed. In the days following Princess Diana's funeral, Buckingham Palace found a small, unoccupied flag pole. It was a shock to the public. The flag was again flown at half-mast only after Princess Diana's funeral.

How To
How to get a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce founded the Hollywood Walk of Fame, HWOF (Hollywood Walk of Fame) in 1960. The HWOF is located at 6233 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. It is made up of 2,711 stars that are embedded in the Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk. Each star represents someone who contributed to motion pictures, television, radio, theater, music, or some aspect of popular culture. The HWOF currently has 1,922 listed living people.
To become a member of HWOF you will need to submit your name at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. This submits your name then to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Once you are approved, you will receive a certificate of eligibility that includes your name, date, residence, occupation, category, and other information. You also receive a bronze plaque with your name engraved on it. This plaque is affixed to a concrete base in front of the designated star.
If a member of the HWOF has nominated you, or if your contributions are significant to films, television, radio or theatre, or any other part of popular culture, you can apply for a Star. A committee evaluates the nominations and decides whether to approve them. If they decide to approve, they write a letter to the address of the applicant explaining their decision. A second letter confirms acceptance if the nominee accepts the nomination. The Hollywood Chamber of commerce then sends $25 to the City of Los Angles Department of Cultural Affairs.
The department issues a check payable to the Hollywood Chamber of commerce, which sends the check to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays any artist or organization that submitted an application. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce pays half of the $12.50 fee to the artist or organization. The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs takes the other half.
Once the artist has received his/her star, he/she becomes eligible to be included in the HWOF. To be included in the HWOF, your balance must be paid to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The amount due depends on how many years ago you were first nominated. If you were first honoured in 1990, then you would owe $15,000. For example, if your first nomination was in 1990, you would owe $15,000. However, if it had been in 1980, you would owe 10,000.
To remove yourself from HWOF, contact the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. They will help you pay the remaining debt. They will remove your name permanently from the HWOF list.
How old do you have to be in order to receive a star on HWOF?
Nominations are open to anyone over 18 years of age. A person must be present at the time of receiving a star. A star can be renominated after 10 years.
What happens if I die before my star gets put up?
Nominating you can be done by family members. If there are no living relatives, then the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will place a memorial marker in front of the star.
Why don't people just use a different street instead of having stars all over the place?
The HWOF doesn't intend to be historical monument. It is meant as a memorial to all who contributed to the history of film.
