  • British Prime Minster John Major addresses his Conservative Party conference in Brighton. Behind him is large image of a Union Jack flag that seemingly flutters patriotically in the background, as if giving him the appearance of a man of the people. Major was PM from 1990-97 after Margaret Thatcher loss of popularity and subsequent removal from office. Here, Major delivers a speech in front of the flag at the annual get-together of party faithful in 1994.

  • Britain's Union Jack flag flies in a breeze with British Parliament's Big Ben clock tower at the Palace of Westminster in the background. As a symbol of parliamentary power and a national democracy, the colours flutter in a breeze alongside the Thames River on the southern Lambeth bank side. The clock shows just after 1 in the afternoon. The Palace, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is where the two Houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) conduct their business. It is therefore a potent symbol for British Governmental power, influence and a world-famous landmark for tourists. Big Ben is the name of the clock's bell and not the tower itself.
