The Devon flag was another one voted in on a poll by the BBC.

Doubtless inspired by it's neighbour Cornwall Devon decided that it needed a fla. The choice was another cross, the cross of St Petroc who was also in the running for patron saint of Cornwall.

The colours green black and white are true Devonian colours, Plymouth argylle and the County Rugby team play in them.

The polls which decided on the flag in 2003 were online polls.
