Yorkshire Flag Registered

At the request of the Yorkshire Ridings' Society, the Yorkshire Flag has been entered on the register of flags maintained by the UK Flag Institute.

The flag is now exempt from planning regulations and charges which apply to many other flags. You can now fly your Yorkshire Flag without the need to apply for permission.

To celebrate the registration of the Yorkshire Flag, a ceremony was held at Hull on 29th July. During the ceremony the Lord Mayor of Hull  unfurled a new ceremonial flag commissioned by the society. The flag was then be carried to York by a group of walkers. It arrived at York on Friday 1st August to take part in the Yorkshire Day celebrations.
