Flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was adopted on October 21, 1985. It is composed of three vertical bands of blue, yellow and green with three diamonds centered in the yellow band and arranged in a V which stands for Vincent. These diamonds recall Saint Vincent as the "gems of the Antilles". Blue represents the tropical sky and the crystal waters, yellow stands for the golden Grenadine sands, and green stands for the islands' lush vegetation.

The previous flags had a realistic palm leaf emblazoned with the coat of arms of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
