Flag Design
The official Yorkshire Flag features the famous White Rose of York (Rosa alba), perfectly centred on a field of deep sky blue (often specified as Pantone 300). This classic, simple design resonates strongly with the spirit of Yorkshire.
👑A Symbol of History: The White Rose of York
The White Rose of York is far more than a modern emblem; its roots stretch back to the 14th century.
- House of York: The white rose was the heraldic badge of the House of York, adopted by Edmund of Langley, the first Duke of York.
- Wars of the Roses: It famously represented the Yorkist side in the 15th-century conflict against the House of Lancaster, whose emblem was the red rose. This makes the White Rose Flag a potent symbol of enduring heritage.
- Yorkshire Day: The flag's importance is celebrated annually on Yorkshire Day, August 1st, commemorating the Battle of Minden in 1759, where Yorkshire soldiers picked and wore white roses as a tribute.
The rose itself symbolises purity and innocence and, for those who call this great county home, it simply means pride and identity.
