Interesting Facts

The world's largest flag is big enough to cover three football pitches. (It measures 1,145 feet by 744 feet, weights 5 tons, and was sewn with 44 miles of thread, breaking the previous Guinness World Record held by Lebanon It took 200 volunteers to roll it out at an airfield in Clinceni, near Bucharest, Romania but it was too heavy to flutter in the wind, so I'm not sure it can be called a flag really.)

The national flags of Indonesia and Monaco look identical. (The flags are equal stripes of red on top and white on the bottom, which funnily enough is also the flag of the state of Hessen in Germany.  I guess that's what comes of having such a simple flag.)

The colours of the Irish flag are orange, green and white. Each stripe has significance :- orange = Irish Protestants green = Irish Catholics and republicans white = hope for peace
