Reading the Simply Sims column in a recent edition of the Luton News I saw that the county of Bedfordshire now has an officially recognised County Flag and plans are afoot to set a date for an annual 'Bedfordshire Day'.
On the 11 September 2014 The Flag Institute admitted the Bedfordshire Flag into the Register of County Flags.

Visit the Friends of Bedfordshire Society's website to read about why the flag looks like it does and what it means.
I look forward to seeing the flag flying and fluttering around the county and I'll be buying a pin badge version asap.
