    This is great.
    But why omit some? It would have been better to see all of the world’s national flags and not just a selection.

      When looked at in the context of the whole series you can see why only some are included in these graphics. All flags, including some that don’t actually represent countries e.g. Texas, EU, are included somewhere. However, not including the union flag in the timeline of flags was a glaring omission IMO

        ‘not including the union flag in the timeline of flags was a glaring omission IMO’

        What are you talking about?

        None of those above are timelines. they are specifically about common/dominating forms & colours.
        The Union flag is not one of many similar so it doesn’t count as one of the most dominant form.

        On the website, they actually do have a timeline of national flags & they do indeed include both the UK & US flags.

          Only read your last para as it looked like a boring rant after a few words…either I was having a stroke earlier or that union flag has been added since I looked, either way, it’s in the wrong place as it dates from 1801

        You interest me strangely, Mildred St Meadowlark. Maybe we should revoice our national flag as green white and gold, with the gold being glittery and diamondy.
