Flag of Sark
The flag of Sark is white with a red St. George's cross and a red canton containing two yellow lions (or in heraldic terms "Leopards"). It was designed by Herbert Pitt in 1938 and adopted the same year.[1] The canton is similar to the arms of nearby Normandy, of which the Channel Islands were historically a part.

The flag is flown from the Ministry of Justice in London on 6 August each year to mark the granting of the fief on that day in 1565. The UK Ministry of Justice is the government department responsible for relations with the Crown Dependecies.[2]
