Lovely flags David, they look really very nice indeed and a busy regiment appeared at some of the biggies over the period.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donnie. :-) They should look pretty impressive on the batlefield, I think; that gold foliate decoration took me ages so I certainly hope so!
DeleteAll the best,
David.
Beautiful and inspiring.

Another beauty!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray. Something just a bit simpler and less work for next time... ;-)

Those are lovely David and have something very regal about them, possibly due to the lion and the colours.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. Yes, red and gold always work well together and lions almost always look good too. :-)
