The flag of Nottinghamshire was registered with the Flag Institute in 2011.[2] The flag includes a white-fimbriated red St George's Cross on a green background, and a green silhouette of James Woodford's bronze statue of Robin Hood on a white shield[1] located close to Nottingham Castle. [3] It is one of the very few flags in the world to feature a fictional character.

## Flag design

[edit]

Andy Whittaker of BBC Radio Nottingham organised a competition following a suggestion by two of his listeners, Jane Bealby and Mike Gaunt. The final design was made up of elements from the designs submitted by a number of people to the radio station for consideration as the new county flag.

The Pantone colours for the flag are:[2]
