![[Flag of Huntingdonshire]](../images/g/gb-e-hun.gif)

Thanks to the College of Arms, Huntingdonshire has a flag, for when they
granted arms to the former County Council they included a flag. The flag appears
in the crest; a red lion holds aloft a flag-staff and that flag is a banner
representing Huntingdonshire. The flag is heraldically described as "Vert
charged with a hunting horn stringed or", or in plain English green with a gold,
ribboned hunting horn.
The arms are now owned by Huntingdonshire District Council. They are the
Council's private property (as all heraldic arms are privately owned; there has
never been a concept of the arms of a county as such.) The flag is unofficial,
as all county flags are, but as it appears on an official grant of arms, the
Huntingdonshire county flag comes as close to "official" status as any can do,
we believe."

According to the fact that the Huntingdonshire coat of arms is now the
official coat of arms of Huntingdonshire District Council (in Cambridgeshire), I
believe that this is the flag of that entity.

The Huntingdonshire flag has been registered on the
Flag Institute Registry (25 June 2009).
