    The national flag of the United Kingdom is commonly known as the Union
    Jack and also as the Union Flag. It has been used as the (1) British flag since
    1603, when Scotland and England were (2) united . The original design
    combined the red cross of (3)England , St George’s Cross, with the white (4
    diagonal cross on a blue background of (5) Scotland, St Andrew’s Cross. The
    red diagonal cross of (6 Ireland, St Patrick’s cross, was added in 1801, when
    Ireland became part of the United Kingdom. (7) Wales is not represented on the
    Union Jack because it is a principality of England. The red (8) dragon of
    Cadwallader, which is now often used as the national flag of Wales, dates from
    the 1950s.

    The Union Jack is most often seen flying from (9)public buildings or at
    sports events. Children may wave small Union Jacks when a member of the
    (10)royal family visits their town. During national (11) celebrations strings of
    small flags are hung across the street as bunting.The Union Jack is less important
    to British (12) people than the Stars and Stripes is to Americans. Many people
    feel a stronger (13)loyalty to the national flags of England, Scotland, Wales or
    Northern Ireland. The flag of the European Union, a circle of gold stars on a blue
    background, is sometimes also seen in Britain, e.g. on car number plates.

    The people of the United Kingdom
    The people of the United Kingdom are British and have British nationality. As a
    group they are usually referred to as the British, rather than as (1) English, though
    this name is used in the media. (2) Ancient Britons were the people who lived in
    Britain before the (3) Romans came. Only people who come from (4) England
    can be called English. People from Ireland are (5) Irish, people from Wales (6)
    Welsh, and people from Scotland (7) Scots or Scottish, and they do not like being
    called (8) Britons. The term the Brits is only used (9) informally, often
    humorously. Many people from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have
    stronger feelings of (10) loyalty towards their own country than they do to the
