Description of the flag

Northamptonshire County Council flies the coat of arms on a white field in a traditional shape which would not look out of place alongside the Union Flag, with no addition of words at County Hall in Northampton, as in this flickr image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/majorclanger/3776227460/lightbox/.

Northamptonshire is a landlocked county in the English East Midlands, with a population of 629,676 as at the 2001 census. It has boundaries with the ceremonial counties of Warwickshire to the west, Leicestershire and Rutland to the north, Cambridgeshire to the east, Bedfordshire to the south-east, Buckinghamshire to the south, Oxfordshire to the south-west, and Lincolnshire to the north-east – England's shortest county boundary at 19 metres (21 yd). The county town is Northampton." - from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northamptonshire.

I would suspect from the photographs supplied, it looks like a really odd shaped flag, in fact it doesn't even look like a flag at all, more like something hastily printed on to a square piece of material, so as to take advantage of the recent announcement that all county flags are to fly in London outside the Department of Communities and Local Government and just to make sure someone recognises us we'd better add the words Northamptonshire County Council to it.
