The Flag of the Governor of Bermuda
The 'Flag of
Bermuda' was adopted on
October 4,
1910. It is a
British Red Ensign with the
Union Flag in the upper left corner, and the
coat of arms of Bermuda in the lower right.
The flag is unusual for a British colony in that it is a red ensign, rather than a
blue ensign, as is traditional for use by governments. However red ensigns were used by both
Canada (pre-1965) and the
Union of South Africa (1870-1905 Natal only) as their flags. The
Governor of Bermuda uses a Union Flag defaced with the coat of arms, a design traditional for Governors of the
British overseas territories.
