The national flag of Sark consists of a white background with a red St. George's cross and a red canton containing the two yellow lions (or in heraldic terms "leopards") from the flag of Normandy. This version of the flag was officially granted in 2020.[3]
Before its official grant, the flag of Sark showed the two lions protruding outside the canton and overflowing the red cross.[4] It was designed by Herbert Pitt in 1938[5] and then adopted as the personal standard of the Seigneur of Sark before becoming the island's flag.[6]
