Picture

Would someone be able to include a picture of the Royal standard of England. The standard is 3 gold lions Passant on a red feild.

Pictures

The pictures on this article (heraldic banners) are not what is mainly described in this article (the Tudor standard proper). AnonMoos (talk) 03:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page merger

This page should be merged with Arms_of_England. The motto section is irrelevant to the banner and should be in the Arms of England page and too is the arms of the Commonwealth. Pmsmythe (talk) 21:46, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The page should stay separate but needs to be extended along the lines of the Royal Standard of Scotland page. Additionally the user Pmsmythe appears to have been unmasked as a Sock puppet of user Mr Taz consequently both accounts have been blocked. I have therefore removed the merger request.

Image of English Royal Standard

Hi - I've just posted this on the England page discussion, and I guess it's particularly applicable to this page too:

Hi,

Could someone change the image for the English Royal Standard that's being used? The version that's currently on the page looks as though it's been taken from a shield and has something very strange going on with the angle of the bottom lion's leg!!! It looks a little bit amateur for the England page (no offense intended!). May I suggest this image as a replacement, which I thinks looks a lot better and indeed like that used by the government & royal family within the royal standard of the UK:

Otherwise liking all your work on this page btw! Brunanburh (talk) 20:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so I've now altered the above image by trimming off the sides and adding to the top and bottom so that it is now a 3:5 ratio - a more standard flag dimension (and to match the dimensions of the St George's Cross image on the England page):

Hope this helps! Brunanburh (talk) 21:22, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so I've changed it to this new high-quality image I've produced:

Royal Standard of England (2) at 3^5 ratio.svg

Photos and other examples?

I know that it is possible to buy modern, polyester reproductions of the English Royal Standard, but does anybody have a photograph of a historical example? Maybe something kept in a museum? What about medieval illustrations? --Jza84 | Talk 16:11, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cant even find any on google. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.27.17.6 (talk) 23:19, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I found a semi-decent reference, which may help. --Jza84 | Talk 17:02, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
