Flag of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland
The Flag of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was a modified British Blue Ensign. Centred in the fly of the flag was a depiction of the shield from the Federation's Coat of Arms. The rising sun is taken from the Colonial Arms of Nyasaland, the lion rampant is taken from the Arms of Southern Rhodesia, and the black and white wavy lines is taken from the Arms of Northern Rhodesia. In this form, it shows the Federation of all three British Colonies which lasted from 1953 to 31 December 1963. This flag flew alongside the Union Jack for the duration of the existence of the Federation.
