Notes

1. Where a building has two or more flagstaffs the appropriate National flag may be flown in addition to the Union flag but not in a superior position

2. Flags should be flown at full mast all day

3. Flags should be flown on this day even if Her Majesty does not perform the ceremony in person. Flags should only be flown in the Greater London area

4. The Union flag should fly alongside the European flag. On Government buildings that only have one flagpole, the Union flag should take precedence

5. If The Queen is to be present in a building, you should get in touch with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Architecture and Historic Environment Division, 2-4 Cockspur Street, London SW1Y 5DH . Telephone 020 7211 2381; facsimile 020 7211 2389
