The national flag of Anguilla, a British overseas territory, consists of a Blue Ensign with the British flag in the canton, charged with the coat of arms of Anguilla in the fly.
[1] The coat of arms consists of three dolphins in a circular formation, which were featured on the earlier Anguilla flag, and which stand for friendship, wisdom and strength.
[1] The white in the background stands for peace, and the light blue represents the sea, as well as faith, youth, and hope.
[citation needed] Variants to this flag were also widely used, with some substituting red for purple and some not bearing the name of Anguilla.
