Flag Of Somerset
The county of Somerset in southwestern England has no official flag. A campaign had been running between 2006–09 in support of a flag and subsequently the Association of British Counties have been taken up the campaign. Currently Somerset County Council has its own coat of arms and the unitary authorities have identifying logos. The Lord Lieutenant of Somerset, Elizabeth, Lady Gass, had shown her support as has David Heath MP and the local TV, radio and newspapers.

Famous quotes containing the words flag of, flag and/or somerset:
“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
—Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“Men have an extraordinarily erroneous opinion of their position in nature; and the error is ineradicable.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
