Union Jack outside my house

[Iusedtobecarmen]

Following the death of our Queen
Is it acceptable to put a Union Jack in my window as a gesture(the way that I did/do )for Jubilee etc.
Or is it inappropriate/tacky?

Maybe not all of think patriotism is a concept that must be slavishly obeyed. Personally I think flags outside people's houses are tacky and jingoistic.

Out of interest what country are you in?

@zingally

I hung one from my window shortly after the announcement. It'll stay there for the official 12 days of mourning, and I'll take it down the day after the funeral.

^^^^

Same

Make sure it’s the right way up or my DH will be knocking on your door to tell you about it. 😂

I think it’s totally fine if you’ve a flag pole and have it at half mast. Sticking it I’m your window not so much.

I have a pic of the queen and a little flag on the window, I'm in the minority though I've seen nothing else near me.

That's nice of you 🙂

I’ve got one up.

I’d say about a third of the houses around here have.

When I lived in Glasgow, even if I had been so inclined (I wasn't) I wouldn't have put a UJ flag up as I liked having windows. Some areas it would have been fine, but not mine.

Live elsewhere in Scotland now, not seen a single UJ on my evening excursions so think it would be unwise to risk it.

Two neighbours have their jubilee flags up and our local council has put red, white and blue ribbons around lampposts in the town

cool username

if that's what you want to do, do it! I can't see why anyone would object. Did you celebrate the Jubilee? It seems like the next logical step (as in marking the occasion, rather than celebrating). There will be a coronation before long, so yes, you can have a flag in the window for that too. 🇬🇧

Throw a couple of old sofas and a broken fridge into the front garden as well.

Got mine up

As long as you hang it the correct way up then it's fine.
A bug bear of mine is seeing the UJ flying upside down.

@Anubis68 - 😂took me a few seconds to spot the old fridge in the garden!
