West Riding of Yorkshire

The West Riding of Yorkshire flag features the white rose of York on a blue and red field. The white rose links it to the other Yorkshire ridings, while the distinctive colour scheme helps differentiate the three historic divisions.

The West Riding was by far the most populous of Yorkshire's three ridings, encompassing major cities like Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, and Huddersfield.
