(at around 1h 12 mins) The Union Flag hanging outside the War rooms is upside down. At the flagstaff, the white Saltire of St. Andrew (Scotland) takes precedence over the red Cross of St. Patrick (Ireland) because Scotland has been part of the Union longer than Ireland, i.e. at the flagstaff the white diagonal band must be thicker above the red diagonal. While many countries fly their flag upside down in times of war, the United Kingdom is not one of them.
