Flag of the Church in Wales blue cross with a white background with a gold celtic cross in the centre. The flag gained official status on 9 December 1954.

As a flag for the Welsh made separate from England, the flag of the Church in Wales is viewed as a uniquely Welsh flag. Churches can use
Flag of Switzerland as the cross arms, so that the total height of the cross is fixed at 20:32 = 5:8 of the height of the flag (in other words, the width of the margin is 6:32 = 3:16). This ratio is also given as a "vexillological recommendation" in the flag regulation used by the Swiss Armed Forces. Flags with a cross of larger relative widths than the prescribed 20:32 = 62.5% remain in wide use; common ratios include 20:26 ≈ 76.9% and 20:28 ≈ 71.4%. For the ensign, the ratio of the size of the cross to the height is likewise 5:8,
