The flag of Montserrat adopted in 1960, with the design updated in 1999 is a blue ensign featuring the Union Jack in the upper left corner and the territory’s coat of arms on the right. The emblem depicts a woman in a green dress holding a cross and a golden harp, symbolizing Montserrat’s Irish heritage and Christian faith.
