The flag of Dutch Limburg is a flag with the height:width ratio of 2:3. It consists of 3 rows of colors, the middle row is the smallest and the upper and lower row are equal in size. The colors used are (from top to bottom) white, blue and gold (yellow).
In the flag there is a symbol of the red Limburgian lion with a double tail, facing the flagpole. The smaller blue middle row is symbolizing the Meuse River.
This flag is not used in Belgian Limburg, which has its own, different, flag.

Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.”
