Description

St George and the Dragon.
the green triangles represent two wings of a dragon / wyvern.

in the Union Jack there is no reference to Wales, that's because Wales was not a kingdom separated from the Kingdom of England.
anyway, i [as well as others] found it interesting that the flag of England displays St George's cross and the flag of Wales a dragon, while the widely known hagiographical story features both St George and a dragon.
similar situation is in Russia, where the coat of arms of Moscow is [interpreted as] St George defeating a dragon - the symbol of Kazan [Tatars].
