Flag of Bermuda

🎨 What the flag means

Bermuda's flag is a Red Ensign: a red flag with the British Union Jack in the top corner and Bermuda's coat of arms on the right. The coat of arms shows a lion holding a shield with a picture of a shipwreck, remembering the ship Sea Venture, wrecked there in 1609. Most British territories use a blue flag, so Bermuda's red one is unusual.
