Royal Standard (Flags)
There
are no hard and fast rules about flying flags in Britain, however
there are old established customs, and some rulings from around the
time of the turn of the last century which have not yet been undone.
Recently with the world cup :)- Some taxi drivers
have had to fight to be allowed to fix flags to their cabs, school
pupils have been threatened with a ban on carrying flags and people
flying flags from buildings warned to keep within advertising laws.
The Union flag should be flown on Government Buildings from 8am
until sunset. :) I've never seen them take them down. Individuals,
local authorities and other organisations may fly the Union flag
whenever they wish, subject to compliance with any local planning
requirements.
