East Riding of Yorkshire
englandrosewaterblue-white
The East Riding of Yorkshire flag features a blue field with a white rose of York and wavy white lines below, representing the Yorkshire heritage and the Humber estuary. The white rose distinguishes it as one of the historic ridings of Yorkshire.
The word 'riding' comes from the Old Norse 'þriðjungr' meaning 'third part', as Yorkshire was historically divided into three ridings.
