Hello all,

I am just wondering why the flag for the Tyne and Wear city council is listed as the former flag.

Specifically this flag: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:County_Flag_of_Tyne_%26_Wear.svg

I can't find anything on it being a former flag, all I can find is that it is an unofficial flag since the council that used it was disbanded in 1986. It was never officially disused and is still used to represent the former council in both wikipedia articles but also in the former county.I feel that the term unofficial would be better than former.

A golden cross with fleur-de-lis ends over a blue field, surrounded by five golden martlets. This former Royal Banner was used by St Edward the Confessor, one of the last Anglo-Saxon English kings.

Or not. As I misunderstand, this coat was invented centuries later on the model of a coin of his that had a cross flory between four birds; the fifth martlet was added to fill a void in the base of the long pointed shield usual at the time (without making the cross asymmetrical). Hoping someone with a reference can rewrite this entry. — Tamfang ( talk) 01:07, 22 March 2023 (UTC) reply
