The page shows a blue banner with 7 light blue wavy lines, and the crowned coat

There is also a flag touted on the internet known as a 'West
Sussex flag' which is a yellow over blue horizontal bicolour, not equally
divided. The yellow band looks to be about 1/4 of the width of the flag. The
bottom blue band features the five martlets in yellow and one local company is
selling it in a five foot by three foot version - see my sources below for
links.
