Acknowledges the importance of flag flying in bringing people together but emphasises that it should be a symbol of unity. The Union Flag is highlighted as the primary national symbol. In Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, the issue of flag flying on public buildings is devolved or regulated by special regulations. The Government support state and ceremonial events by helping London look its best for occasions such as VE Day and Remembrance Sunday. They adorn public spaces like the Mall, Horse Guards Parade, and Parliament Square with flags during these times. The practice of flying flags has evolved over time, with the Labour Government in 2008 allowing Government buildings to fly the Union flag on any day of the year rather than solely on royal and ceremonial occasions. This was further expanded in 2021 to encourage daily flag flying. Departments have also increasingly flown other flags to show support for causes such as Armed Forces Day, British overseas territories, Crown dependencies, and LGBTQ+ representative flags like the Pride flag since March 2014. The Government are working with officials to consider whether further central guidance regarding flag flying from Government buildings may be helpful to ensure consistency and transparency in decision making.
