Flag UK: Scotland St Andrew

Flag of Scotland - St Andrews Cross Mounted 4x6".
Legend says that in 832 AD, an army of Scots was facing a Northumbrian army. The Scottish king prayed to St Andrew for help, and saw the saltire of St Andrew (the saint had been martyred on a diagonal cross) in the heavens against a clear blue sky. On seeing the cross in the sky, he swore that if the Scots beat the English in the battle that was about to be joined, then St Andrew would forever be the patron saint of Scotland
The Scots did in fact win the battle, and from that day on the saltire has been the national flag of Scotland.
