* The flag of Berkshire was registered with the Flag Institute as the flag of the county in March 2017 and considers the design “traditional“.
* The flag features traditional symbols of the county, the stag and oak. This design’s connection with the county dates from at least Michael Drayton’s 1627 poem Battle of Agincourt, where he describes the men of Berkshire marching under the symbol of “a Stag, under an Oake that stood“.
* The stag has twelve-point antlers (characteristic of “royal stag“ red deer), a reference to the county’s title as the “Royal County of Berkshire“. The stag and oak together represent the county’s forestry and deer herds.
* The oak tree represents Herne’s Oak, which once stood in Windsor Great Park. Folk tales say that Herne the Hunter hung himself in shame from the oak tree after being caught poaching. Herne also appears in Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives Of Windsor“.
* HM Queen Elizabeth II granted
