Turks and Caicos Islands

The flag of Turks and Caicos Islands similar to most British oversea territories, featuring a Union Jack in the upper right corner, with the coat of arms on the left side. The previous flag used up to 1968 was also a defaced Blue Ensign. Like many other British territories in the region at the time, it had a circular badge showing a ship offshore from a beach with the name of the islands.
