It is the foremost flag of the Crown in Canada, and the personal banner of our Head of State. Since its adoption in 1962, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Personal Canadian Flag has adorned countless buildings, ships, aircraft and vehicles during 20 official tours. The Canada-specific Royal flag is only flown in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and it salutes Her Majesty as the Queen of Canada. All heraldic elements have been preserved but redrawn to add movement to the flag, with vivid colours that hint at a shining pride. A fresh, new take on the lion and unicorn supporters of the Arms of Canada completes the meticulously sculpted design. It is a striking reminder of the enduring connection between Canadians and Her Majesty, who, for over six decades, has dutifully embodied the Canadian state.
