God Save the King
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!

And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King.

History of the Bermuda Flag
The flag of Bermuda, adopted on October 4, 1910, is rich in symbolism and represents the island’s British heritage and maritime history. It is a British Overseas Territory, and its flag reflects this status.
The flag consists of a red ensign with the Union Jack in the upper left corner, signifying Bermuda’s ties to the United Kingdom. On the fly, or right side, of the flag is the coat of arms of Bermuda. The coat of arms depicts a red lion holding a shield that shows a shipwreck. This ship is believed to represent the Sea Venture, the flagship of the Virginia Company that was wrecked in Bermuda in 1609. This event led to the island’s initial settlement.
The use of the red ensign is traditional for British colonies and reflects Bermuda’s status as an overseas territory. The inclusion of the coat of arms, granted by royal warrant in 1910, adds a unique Bermudian element to the flag. The shipwreck depicted on the flag is a key part of Bermudian history and symbolizes the resilience and resourcefulness of its people.
The Bermuda flag is a symbol of national pride and is used in various capacities on the island, especially in maritime contexts, reflecting the territory’s strong connection to the sea. It represents Bermuda’s historical journey, from its accidental discovery and settlement to its current status as a self-governing territory with strong ties to the United Kingdom. The flag is a reminder of Bermuda’s rich heritage, its unique culture, and its place within the wider context of British history.
