Visiting London for a few days, and noticed a lot of half-mast flags: red cross on a white background (reminiscent of some crusaders, Templars?) any symbolism behind them being shredded? Its a lot of them, must have cost a ton of money…
The red cross and white background is St George’s cross, the national flag of England. Flags on lampposts are also a thing in Northern Ireland. Sometimes in some places they are neglected and not replaced, so just get worn down over time.
