The Cornish flag

The black and white flag of St Piran flies vitually everywhere in Cornwall.

It is often alongside the Union Jack and the Cross of St George.

But today I spotted this composite flag for the first time. The shield, in the bottom right, is the Cornish coat of arms, which usually bears the motto "One and All" or " Onen hag Oll" in Cornish.







The other flag in this picture is that of the RNLI, The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, certainly one of the most respected organisations in the Duchy where there are 14 lifeboat stations and 57 of the busiest beaches are patrolled by professional RNLI lifeguards.
