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)[reply]

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. Artowalos (talk) 15:45, 8 June 2012 (UTC)artowalos[reply]

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!

You've been here long enough to understand the importance of verifiability. If you can provide a reliable source that backs up your claims about the reasons for these flags being flown, the information could go in Gloriana (barge) - it certainly does not belong in this generic article about royal barges. —SMALL JIM 16:18, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, rather than reverting, I've compromised on the flags - see the article. I think this is as far as we can go unless you can provide a reliable reference that explains why the flag of Cornwall was being flown. —SMALL JIM 16:27, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The source lists the flag of Cornwall under "county and regional flags", not as a national flag. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:54, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see your still peddling your anti-Cornish sentiments again Ghmyrtle. The fact that some people consider the Cornish flag to be a national flag should be good enough - even for you. Artowalos (talk) 19:04, 12 June 2013 (UTC)artowalos[reply]
