Flag Flying Protocol
Written on: Monday, Jul 2 2001 at 12:00 GMTWritten by: Chief Executive's Emergency Planning
Summary
National flags are flown from local government buildings to mark certain set occasions . They are also flown at half mast as a mark of respect following the death of a member of the Royal Family and of current or past holders of high political office.
In certain circumstances it is judged appropriate to make books of condolence available in council offices to allow members of the public to record their respects.
This protocol attempts to standardise the flying of flags and to set out responsibilities in relation to books of condolence. Some compromises have been made between the formal rules of etiquette and what has become accepted practice.
From time to time decisions in relation to a particular set of circumstances will require to be taken and in such instances the Chief Executive will be consulted and if considered necessary the Lords Lieutenant and the Lord Chamberlain's office.
