Do not fly any other flag higher than the
National Flag |
|
 |
When placed on a wall, make sure that the
National Flag is hung as if the mast
were on the right side of the flag (your left) |
 |
No flag, banner or pennant should be flown or displayed above, or be larger
than, the National Flag of your Country of residence when on the same flag
pole. |
 |
When three flags are flown together, the
National Flag of your Country of
residence should occupy the central position, with the next ranking flag to the
left, and third ranking flag to the right, as seen by spectators in front of the
flags. |
 |
When two, or more than three, nation's flags are flown, use separate staffs of
the same height. |
 |
In processions, carry the
National Flag on the marching right. |
 |
When several other flags are carried abreast, carry the
National Flag in front of
the centre of the line. |
 |
When crossed with another flag, the
National Flag is on the flag's right
(reader's left) with the staff over that of the other flag. |
 |
A church flag is often used with the
National Flag in the chancel of a church.
In such cases, the National Flag should be on the left and the church flag on the
right as you face the chancel. |
 |
When flying the
National Flag at half-mast, first raise it to the masthead, then
slowly bring it down at least the flag's width from the masthead, but not more
than half-way. |
|
Care of Your Flag. |
~ If lightly frayed or torn, a flag should be repaired at once. It
could save the cost of a new flag.
~ When your flag is in such condition that it is no longer a
fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a
dignified manner.
