    I missed the last vote. I think Bedfordshire is immediately more striking, but when you start to look closely at it, it starts to hurt the eyes. I think I'd have gone for Dorset.

    But, like others have mentioned, I was intrigued by shells and waves on an inland county. According to Wiki, the waves represent the River Great Ouse and the shells come from the design of the Duke of Bedford. Which isn't very satisfactory as it still doesn't explain why the Duke of Bedford has shells on its coat of arms.

    Apologies for the lack of sign-off last night! Great to see a good turnout for this competition and some of the reasons are top notch. There’s plenty of these flags I’ve never seen before, actually probably most of them, so it’s a brilliant introduction for me personally. Hope to see you all later on as we resume the Ultimate Battle of Britain and Ireland.

    Loving Sutherland! Striking, makes an impression, where the black crosses over lovely use of yellow. The other one is nice too possibly nicer than some of the things I voted for last night ;)

    Never even heard of a place called Huntingdonshire - looks kinda Irish and shamrocky.

    However I've voting for Sutherland and it's much more striking.

    Huntingdonshire Sutherland is striking but not in a good way IMO. So go with the golden horn.

    Woah, nearly missed the party.

    I like that Sutherland flag.
    Geometrical perfection, nice colour combo.
    Bit disappointed its only three years old but a fine effort for the highlanders.


    And huntingdonshire is only about 12 years old - the engish counties seem to be a bit late themselves to the flag party. It's middlin.

    Sutherland

    Anglesey - dragons of red and yellow is good. Shropshire a bit too busy

    Anglesey - overall the more pleasing to my eye (I think I find the blue/yellow combo can be glaring)

    Anglesey

    Dragons trump cats. A strong design, Great colour combo.

    Shropshire looks like it has 13 Mr.Potato heads lost on it...

    Anglesey

    Dragons are nicer and there is just too much going on in the other flag

    Anglesey - decent enough, whereas Shropshire is just too "busy" looking.
