Pitcairn Islands National Anthem
God Save the King
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour,
Long may he reign.
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King.

History of the Pitcairn Islands Flag
The flag of the Pitcairn Islands was officially adopted on April 2, 1984. The flag is a symbol of the island’s colonial history as a British Overseas Territory and its unique cultural heritage.
The design of the flag is a Blue Ensign with the Union Jack in the canton, and the coat of arms of the Pitcairn Islands in the fly. The coat of arms features a shield with a depiction of the Bounty, the famous ship associated with the Mutiny on the Bounty, which is an integral part of Pitcairn history. The shield is flanked by a flower and a wheelbarrow, representing the islanders’ dependence on both their natural environment and their industrious nature.
The adoption of the flag was part of the Pitcairn Islands’ desire to have a distinctive symbol that reflected their unique identity and history. The presence of the Union Jack signifies the islands’ ties to the United Kingdom, while the elements in the coat of arms pay homage to the islands’ settlement by the mutineers of the Bounty and their Tahitian companions in 1790.
The flag of the Pitcairn Islands is a source of pride for its small population, symbolizing their resilience, history, and the distinctive culture of this remote island community. It is used in official capacities and at events where the Pitcairn Islands are represented. The flag embodies the spirit of the islanders and their connection to both their past and their relationship with the United Kingdom.
