History of The Flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
The flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was officially adopted on October 21, 1985, after the country gained independence from Britain on October 27, 1979. The design was the result of a national flag competition. The chosen design has undergone slight modifications since its adoption, particularly in the shade of the blue and green bands, to make it distinctly unique from other flags. The diamonds were initially arranged in a different pattern and have been rearranged to their current V pattern to better symbolize the Grenadines. The flag represents not only the natural beauty and resources of the islands but also the unity and aspirations of its people.
