1953-72The
Ulster Banner is the official name given to the Flag of the Executive Committee of the Privy Council of Northern Ireland between 1953 and 1972. It is still used to represent Northern Ireland in sporting events in which Northern Ireland compete.
Origin
, granted in 1924 of Ulster in the cantonThe flag is taken from the coat of arms of Northern Ireland granted in 1924 which is based on the
flag of Englandhttp://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/gb-ni.html#ujhttp://cain.ulst.ac.uk/themes/main/images/symbols/flags.htmhttp://www.flagsonline.it/asp/fahne.asp/fahne_Nordirland/Nordirland.html and the
Flag of Ulster http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/gb-ni.html#hist, with the addition of a crown to symbolise the loyalty of Ulster
Unionists (Ireland) to the British Monarchy. As with the
flag of Ulster of the
Provinces of Ireland of
Ulster, it contains the
Red Hand of Ulster at the centre. There is a dispute as to the meaning of the star, with some maintaining it is the Star of David, and others say it represents the six counties that make up Northern Ireland. The flag is also sometimes referred to as the "Red Hand of Ulster Flag", "the Flag of Northern Ireland", the "Northern Ireland flag" or as the "
Ulster" (not to be confused with the
Provinces of Ireland Flag of Ulster).
Official Use
The Ulster Banner was the official flag of the Government of Northern Ireland from 1953 to 1972, but is unlikely to ever be used in an official/government capacity to represent
Northern Ireland or its government in the future because, for various reasons, it is not accepted by many in the
Irish nationalism.
In 1924, the Government of Coat of arms of Northern Ireland by Royal Warrant and had the right to display these arms on a flag or banner. This right was exercised for the
Coronation of the British monarch in 1953. Between 1953 and 1972, this flag was the arms of the Government of Northern Ireland and commonly used during this period and beyond as a
de facto civil flag. It ceased to have official government sanction when the
Parliament of Northern Ireland was dissolved by the British government under the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1973.
Use in society
The Ulster Banner is used within the
Unionists (Ireland) community, along with the Union Flag. A variation of the flag places the Union Flag in the Flag Terminology, and another superimposes both the red hand and the outline of a map of Northern Ireland on the
Union Flag.
The flag is regularly displayed by fans of the
Northern Ireland national football team, and the Ulster Rugby. Some Ulster rugby supporters also display the
Flag of Ulster. It is also used to represent Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games Commonwealth Games Federation
Telegraph, the Northern Ireland national football team Northern Ireland page at FIFA web site Northern Ireland page at UEFA web site and various other sporting competitions.
