What is the national flag of Northern Ireland?

Northern Ireland is not a separate country without a national flag, but only a national flag.

192 1 year, southern Ireland declared independence, but six counties in northern Ireland decided to continue to belong to Britain, which was later called Northern Ireland. During the period from 1924 to 1972, the "red flag" was used:

On a white background, the center of the Red Cross is covered by a red right-handed white hexagon (representing six counties in Northern Ireland), and the crown is above the hexagon. 1924 was awarded by King George V of England on August 2nd, and 1953 was officially opened on May 29th.

However, the autonomy of Northern Ireland was abolished in 1972, and there was no official national flag since then. In the folk, some nationalists use the Irish tricolor flag, while the church tends to use the St. Patrick's Cross flag. But so far, there is no recognized flag of Northern Ireland.

Most northern Irish (unionists) want to stay in Britain, but a considerable number of minorities (nationalists) want to join Ireland.
