Why doesnt the Welsh dragon appear on the Union Flag? in 1606, Wales was already united with England. Wales was conquered by England in the 13th Century. In 1536, under Henry VIII, the Act of Union joined England and Wales officially. Therefore Wales is represented by the English Flag instead of the Welsh dragon.The UK flag is NOT symmetrical! The broader diagonal white stripe should be at the top left hand side of the flag nearest the flagpole. On the side next to the flagpole, the thick white band is above the red band on both diagonals, the white band being part of the cross of St Andrew, the Scottish flag and the red band being part of the cross of St.Patrick, the Irish flag.Symbols of the four parts: rose , bluebell/thirstle , Daffodil , ShamrockAnthem:God save our gracious Queen!
