Knitted Polyester Anguilla Flag

For enduring quality and vibrant colours of the Anguilla Flag, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to prevent fading. Avoid bleach or similar harsh chemicals.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to avoid snagging.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it up. Do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry, and safe place.
3. Folding the Anguilla Flag:
   • Initial Fold: Lay the flag flat on a clean surface with the front (featuring the coat of arms) facing up.
   • First Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise so that the Union Jack and coat of arms are on the outside, aligning the edges neatly.
   • Second Fold: Fold the flag in half again lengthwise, ensuring the previously folded edge remains even.
   • Fold into a Rectangle: Fold the flag from the bottom up towards the top, making 4 to 5 even sections. This ensures the coat of arms remains visible on top.
   • Final Adjustment: Smooth out any wrinkles or creases, ensuring the flag is neatly folded into a compact rectangle, with the coat of arms and the Union Jack properly aligned and visible.
4. Handling:
   • Protect from Sharp Objects: Prevent contact with sharp objects or surfaces that could cause snags, tears, or abrasions.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly hoisted and free from obstruction.
   • Flag Exposure: Minimise exposure to harsh weather by taking the flag down during extreme conditions or overnight.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: Address any wear, tear, or fraying promptly by replacing the flag and seeking professional repair from a seamstress.
   • Replacement: As the flag nears the end of its lifespan, consider ordering a new one to ensure you’re always prepared for celebrations or events.

Flying the Anguilla Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flagpole is securely anchored and free from any obstructions.
  • Attach the flag to the halyard (flag rope) using appropriate clips or fasteners.
  • Raise the flag briskly and steadily, ensuring it reaches the top of the pole without touching the ground.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is fully unfurled and visible, with the Union Jack and coat of arms in the correct orientation.
  • The flag should be displayed with dignity, ensuring it is not touching the ground or any other objects.
  • If displaying multiple flags, position the Anguilla Flag in the prominent position of honour, typically at the highest point if on a shared flagpole.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To lower the flag to half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole and then lower it to a position halfway down.
  • Ensure the flag remains at this lowered position for the duration of the commemoration or mourning period.
  • When raising the flag back to full mast, first bring it back to the half-mast position before raising it to the top.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
  • If it is impractical to lower the flag at sunset, ensure it is illuminated if displayed at night to maintain its visibility and respect.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather conditions such as storms, high winds, or heavy rain to prevent damage.
  • In adverse weather, take the flag down promptly and store it in a dry, secure place.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn or damaged, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Arrange for the flag to be replaced with a new one, and consider recycling the old flag through an appropriate disposal or ceremonial method to honour its service.
