East Riding Flag – Winning Design
Posted on April 18, 2013 by
andystrangeway
I am pleased to announce that the winning design of the
East Riding flag competition was designed by Trevor and Thomas Appleton (a
father and son), from Kirkburn, East Riding.
The flag is described as:
“The white rose is displayed in the East Riding style. The blue represents the
sea and the maritime activities. The green represents the rich agricultural
land.”
The flag was unfurled this morning at Beverley Minster by myself
and the Lord-Lieutenant. The unfurling was attended by the Lord-Lieutenant, the
Vice Chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the Chairman of
North Yorkshire County Council. At the unfurling my address outlined the
background to the East Riding flag.
Although the Lord Mayor of Hull City
Council was unable to attended the unfurling he provided the following
statement: “happy to note that the East Riding is recognised with its own flag”.
The Lord Mayor of the City of York Council sent his best wishes for an enjoyable
and successful event and unfurling.
The flag will remain on Beverley
Minster for the next few days and return the following week to allow everyone
the opportunity to see our new flag.

The white rose is displayed in the East Riding style (upside down from the usual Yorkshire rose). The blue represents maritime activities and the green represents agricultural industries. The blue is placed on the hoist side to represent the Riding’s connection to the whole of Yorkshire whilst the green is placed towards the fly to represent its position to the east. The flag was chosen by a public vote, following a competition to design a flag for the East Riding which was launched on Monday 7 January 2013 on BBC Radio Humberside. Six designs were selected from numerous entries, by a panel of judges, for everyone to vote for their favourite design.
