The Manx triskelion was not flown on the ''Gloriana''. It is not visible on any photo of the barge. If it was then two things spring to mind: either the organisers didn't know that the Isle of Man is not part of the UK, or they were blatently ignoring every other British possession including Jersey, Guernsey, Gibraltar, St. Helena, the Falkland Islands, Bermuda, etc. [[User:MacTire02|<span style="color:#003300;font-family:serif;font-size:100%"><sup>'''Mac Tíre'''</sup></span>]] [[User talk:MacTire02|<span style="color:red;font-family:cursive;font-size:80%"><sub>''Cowag''</sub></span>]] 23:01, 3 June 2012 (UTC) |

I doubt that the organisers didn't know what they were doing as Flag Protocol is an important diplomatic and naval convention. The Islands in question are considered ''Crown Dependencies'' so that may or may not have a bearing. [[User:Artowalos|Artowalos]] ([[User talk:Artowalos|talk]]) 15:45, 8 June 2012 (UTC)artowalos |

Flags on the Gloriana
The Manx triskelion was not flown on the Gloriana. It is not visible on any photo of the barge. If it was then two things spring to mind: either the organisers didn't know that the Isle of Man is not part of the UK, or they were blatently ignoring every other British possession including Jersey, Guernsey, Gibraltar, St. Helena, the Falkland Islands, Bermuda, etc. Mac Tíre Cowag 23:01, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism
Yet again we see edits that reverse important information for what appears to be purely political reasons. If you wish to tak up the debate about the constituents of the UK - then please take up your discussion elsewhere! Flag protocol is an important part of the information relating to Royal Barges in the UK. This information was provided to me by an ex-Naval officer with expertise in signals on board ship. i have reversed your edits. Please do not reverse them again!
