First flown in 2003, the Devon Regatta Ensign added a Union flag to the canton of the Devon Flag. This flag is used at regattas, high days and holidays, weddings, and burials at sea. This new version of the flag has become a famous symbol of the county, often seen at events and locations in Devon. The Devon ensign can be used for any occasion where a person wishes to show off their connection to the county, be it a football game, outdoor event, or even in the home.

History of the Flag 

The flag of the English county of Devon is called the Flag of Devon or the St. Petroc’s Cross. Saint Petroc, a famous Devon saint, is honoured with this devotion. A remarkable aspect of its construction is that it was based on the results of two online surveys.

The flag was designed in 2003 after the winning design received 49% of the vote in two polls hosted on the BBC Devon website. Ryan Sealey, a student at the time, came up with the design.

Devon’s flag is tricolour, with green, black, and white. The flag may be new, but its design is based on the colours that have long been associated with Devon (e.g., the colours of its rugby union team, Exeter University and Plymouth Argyle Football Club).

The green represents the colour of the rolling and lush Devon hills, the black represents the high and windswept moors, and the white represents both the salt spray of Devon’s two coastlines and the China Clay industry (and mining in general).

Since its launch in 2003, the Devon Flag has gained popularity, and in October 2006, it gained “official” recognition when Devon County Council raised the flag outside County Hall.
