Leicestershire Flag

This is our flag for the whole of Leicestershire, the only English county without a flag. If you like it, let us know!

Happy #NorfolkDay! Our fourth one and chuffed to see how many people have got behind it again this year.

An unashamed opportunity to remind ourselves why we love living here.

The big skies, gorgeous countryside, wonderful coast, vibrant city - and of course fabulous people.

Today is Historic County Flags Day, to mark the day we are flying the new Leicestershire county flag outside Parkside this weekend.

#Leicestershire was the only historic county without a flag until last week. Well done to everyone involved in making it happen.

Today is Historic County Flags Day. 🦊

After 1,000 years #Leicestershire finally has its own flag which we are flying with pride at our offices today.

Leicestershire was the only historic county without a flag until last week.

Well done to everyone involved in the project.👏

Proud to be flying the #Rutland county flag on @CountyFlagsDay - we may be the smallest county but we live up to our motto ‘a lot in a little’ @RutlandHS @rutlandcouncil @AquaParkGroup @RutlandWaterNR @OakhamTown @UppTownPartners

Actually, Lancashire is between Kirkcudbrightshire and Leicestershire (as an atlas will no doubt confirm) ;-)

[Friends of Real Lancashire @FORLancashire]

There, our #Lancashire flag flies between the new flag of #Leicestershire and flag of #Lincolnshire in Parliament Sq. #Countyflagsday on Friday 23 July. We wonder how many connections there are between our counties? @britishcounties

A grand sweep of the county flags. Room for a few more😀

First image we've seen (the one on the right) of the new fox-and-cinquefoil flag of Leicestershire in the company of the other UK county flags. To the right is Lancashire, to the left Lincolnshire.

On my way to the office this morning, I was delighted to see the county flag of Warwickshire flying in Parliament Square.

[Alberto Costa MP - South Leicestershire @AlbertoCostaMP]

A pleasure to join @aliciakearns, @JaneMHunt & @Tom_Randall earlier today to finally unveil Leicestershire’s flag outside Parliament.

A huge well done to Alicia for pulling everything together & to @LeicsFlag for their brilliant, tireless work on this for many years.

And the set of flags for the English historic counties is complete!

[Alicia Kearns MP @aliciakearns]

Our County deserves no less than any other and today, after 1,000 years Leicestershire finally has a flag and it’s flying outside Parliament!

Our flags carry our history, our pride, help define who we are, and bring us together as communities and to celebrate our great County

We are delighted to announce that the fox-and-cinquefoil has been registered as the flag of Leicestershire by the Flag Institute: https://t.co/SAKrnUO3Zt

The University of Leicester’s School of Archaeology and Ancient History is in no way directly affected by the University’s recent restructuring plans in other faculties.

Well done the Foxes! Our Leicestershire flag was there:

We appreciate your support! We really think the flag suits the county and does its heritage justice 🦊

[YDM @Yorkshire_DM]

To that end we, Yorkshire Devolution Movement, hereby declare that, henceforth, we recognise the Cinquefoil & Fox, as depicted below, as the Official County Flag of Liecestershire.
We ask others to join us in making similar declaration.
Thank you!

[Leicestershire Flag @LeicsFlag]

The fox and cinquefoil is featured on this Sporcle county flag quiz! How many can you remember?

Happy St Cuthbert's Day!

County Durham is bursting with stories from its historic past, featuring everything from Romans to the first public railway to use the steam locomotives and more.

Here are 10 incredible sites from across County Durham ⬇️

As well as being the Spring equinox this year, today is County Durham day. This is the feast day of St Cuthbert, and the cross on the county flag also belongs to him.

[Leicestershire Flag @LeicsFlag]

And for those outside Leicestershire, they do have other counties too: https://t.co/RkipBkehkr
