Dorset Flag
Some of you may have seen that their is talk of designing a Dorset Flag. David White, in Wimborne has designed a flag using the St Wite’s cross and is promoting it with vigour and enthusiasm.
Keith Lawson is not happy with the design, he would prefer a multi-faith cross rather than the Christian cross and he has come up with something similar using a heraldic cross. On his flag the main background colour is green to denote the green countryside, with yellow (the sea and sand) and blue (our clear blue sky). The quadrants of the flag denote our neighbours, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire, all linked by Dorset in the form of the heraldic cross.
I would like to see a healthy competition between the two, with entries from anyone else as well. At the moment the St Wite’s cross seems to be getting most of the publicity so we must ensure an airing for alternative’s as well.
