The Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom
The Lion and the Unicorn are heraldic symbols of the United Kingdom. The lion stands for England and the unicorn for Scotland.
The shield is quartered: the three passant guardant lions of England the rampant lion and double tressure fleury-counter-fleury of Scotland a harp for Ireland. The crest is a statant guardant lion wearing the imperial crown. The dexter supporter is a crowned English lion; the sinister, a Scottish unicorn. The heraldic unicorn is chained.
The coat features both the motto of English monarchs, Dieu et mon droit (God and my right), and the motto of the Order of the Garter, Honi soit qui mal y pense (Shamed be he who thinks ill of it).

The Use of the Coat of Arms.

In 2008, a new series of designs for all seven coins of £1 and below was unveiled by the Royal Mint, every one of which is drawn from the Royal Arms. The full Royal Arms appear on the one pound coin, and sections appear on each of the other six, such that they can be put together like a puzzle to make another complete representation of the Royal Arms.
The new designs have been chosen via an open competition. The winning designer is 26-year-old Matthew Dent, originally from Bangor who now lives and works in London as a graphic designer.

Royal Standard of the United Kingdom
The Royal Standard of the United Kingdom is the flag used by Queen Elizabeth II in her capacity as Sovereign of the United Kingdom. Different standards are used:
The Royal Standard used outside Scotland.
The Royal Standard used in Scotland.
Although almost universally called a standard, such flags when used in the United Kingdom are banners of arms, as they comprise the shield of the Royal Arms. Outside of the United Kingdom, the Royal Standard is usually a national flag with a blue disc containing a wreath of gold roses encircling the crowned letter 'E', (for 'Elizabeth'), superimposed upon it. Variants of the Royal Standard are used for other members of the British Royal Family.
The Royal Standard is flown at royal residences only when the sovereign is present.

The motto of the British Monarch.
Dieu et mon droit (French) - "God and my right"
It appears on a scroll beneath the shield of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The motto refers to the divine right of the Monarch to govern and is said to have first been adopted as the royal motto of England by King Henry V in the 15th century.
It was first used as a password by King Richard I in 1198 at the Battle of Gisors, when he defeated the forces of Philip II of France. This implies that Richard owed his royalty to no power other than God and his own heredity, and was therefore subject to no earthly power nor other monarch. This can be taken as a direct reference to the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings.
Henry V (1386–87 – 31 August 1422) was King of England from 1413 until his death.
Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 April 1199) was King of England from 6 July 1189 until his death. He was known as Richard the Lionheart, because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior.

"King" is replaced with "Queen" in the lyrics whenever the monarch is female. The anthem's name, however, remains "God Save the King".
The National and Royal anthem of the United Kingdom and territories.
God Save the Queen (standard version) God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen: Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the Queen. O Lord, our God, arise, Scatter her enemies, And make them fall. Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix, God save us all. Thy choicest gifts in store, On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign: May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen.
The first definitive published version of the present tune appeared in 1744.
There is no definitive version of the lyrics.
The standard version of the melody is still that of the original.
The phrase "God Save the King" is much older than the song.
"God Save the King"
The phrase "God Save the King" long predates the song and as seen in this poster from World War I it remains a rallying cry to the support of the monarch and the nation's forces.

How to draw the Union Jack — accurately
The Union Jack is often drawn incorrectly.

Correct way to fly the flag, assuming flagpole to the left.
The cross of St Patrick abuts at a right-angle to the white edge of the cross of St George
Incorrect way to fly the flag, unless flagpole is to the right.

Correct Way
Wrong way
The UK flag is NOT entirely symmetrical! You can rotate the flag and it still will be the right way up but you can't invert it (not refective symmetry).
The broader (wider) diagonal white stripe should be at the top on the side of the flag nearest the flagpole.

National Emblems in the UK
(National Flowers)

The national emblem of England is a red rose.
The flower has been adopted as England’s emblem since the time of the Wars of the Roses - civil wars (1455-1485) between

The Scottish Bluebell (the Harebell) is also seen as the flower of Scotland.
The national emblem and national flower of Scotland is the thistle, a prickly-leaved purple flower.
It was first used in the 15th century as a symbol of defence.
As legend has it, an invading army had attempted to sneak up at night on the Scots. One, perhaps barefooted, unwelcome foreign soldier stumbled upon a Scots Thistle, and cried out in pain, thus alerting Scots to their presence.
Scotland

The national emblems of Wales are daffodils and leeks.
St David's Day is commemorated by the wearing of daffodils or leeks. Both plants are traditionally regarded as national emblems.
Wales
The daffodil is closely associated with St. David’s day, due to belief that it flowers on that day (1 March). It became an alternative to the leek as a Welsh floral emblem in the 20th century, because some thought the leek vulgar.
St David advised the Welsh, on the eve of battle with the Saxons, to wear leeks in their caps to distinguish friend from the enemy. Shakespeare mentions in Henry V, that the Welsh archers wore leeks at the battle of Agincourt in 1415. The other is the belief that St.David is supposed to have lived for several years on bread and wild leek.

The national flower of Northern Ireland is the shamrock, a three-leaved plant similar to clover.
An Irish tale tells of how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day.
St Patrick's day is marked by the wearing of shamrocks (a clover-like plant), the national emblem of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Northern Ireland
Flax is also the emblem of Northern Ireland and used by the Northern Ireland Assembly. In a coronet, it appeared on the reverse of the British one pound coin to represent Northern Ireland on coins minted in 1986 and 1991. Flax also represents Northern Ireland on the badge of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom and on various logos associated with it.
