The UK is situated off the west coast of Europe between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea and it is separated from the European continent by the English Channel (or LaManche).
The flag of the United Kingdom is the Union Jack. It is made up of three crosses. The upright red cross is the cross of St. George, the patron saint of England. The white diagonal cross is the cross of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. The red diagonal cross is the cross of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
