The Flag of Northumberland is a heraldic banner that represents the county of Northumberland, located in the northeast of England, United Kingdom. It was officially adopted on October 23, 2008, marking a significant milestone for local pride and identity. The flag's design features three primary elements: a red background, a golden castle on the center, and three green lions passant guardant (walking and facing outwards) arranged in an arc above the castle. These elements reflect the county's historic coat of arms and its rich heritage, steeped in Norman and medieval history. The flag serves as a symbol of Northumberland's unique culture, traditions, and sense of community within the broader context of the United Kingdom.
