Why Worcester should be proud of flying England’s many flags

01/09/2026

THE colourful Civil War banners in Worcester represent a fantastic addition to the city at a time when flying flags of any description seems to court controversy.

Worcester’s Civil War banners project in Copenhagen Street marks such a refreshing and wholesome addition to the city, a celebration of English heritage at its very best.

This is an eminently commendable project on so many levels, from boosting tourism to fostering education, generating a healthy curiosity from locals and visitors alike.
