The Queen's Personal Flag for Jamaica was the personal flag of Queen Elizabeth II for use in Jamaica. The sovereign's representative, the governor-general of Jamaica has his own flag.[1]
Description
[edit]
The flag consists of a banner of the coat of arms of Jamaica superposed by the Queen's Royal Cypher. The flag is white and bears a red St George's Cross. A gold pineapple is on each arm of the Cross. A blue disc with the Royal Cypher is placed in the centre of the Cross. The disc is taken from the Queen's Personal Flag.[1]
