Yesterday, Sydney CBD was buzzing with a sea of Greek flags as Greek communities celebrated the national anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821 (Greek Independence Day - 25 March)..
Started at Hyde Park, to then gather at The Sydney Opera House.

Flags, flags, flags galore!
And at the end of the video, you can see Harry proudly carrying that large Greek flag 🇬🇷 🇦🇺

Some recent flags we received last month
Thanks to Michael Kyriagis and his wonderful travels!
Flags of;
Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Eswatini (aka Swaziland) 🇸🇿
And, South Africa 🇿🇦
Some stunning bookmarks too were added in the package.
We need to also mention that our dear Michael searched everywhere for the flag of Lesotho 🇱🇸 but alas couldn't get one, but we thank you so much for all the effort and the package, Michael

Interesting fact about South Africa having 3 capital cities!!
That being, Cape Town (legislative), Pretoria (administrative), and Bloemfontein (judicial)!

What a flag!
Whilst getting my hair done by Maram & Lily at Vivienne's Hair Salon, we were discussing Harry's love for countries and his collection of flags!
Well, Maryam came to the party, and she promised Harry a very special Iranian flag. And very special it is!

Whilst it's not currently the official flag of Iran, this flag is the overwhelmingly proposed Redesigned Flag for Iran.

The first official flag of Iran was originally adopted on 7 October 1907 with the Lion and Sun emblem. Following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Iranian flag was changed into its current form on 29 July 1980.

The Lion and Sun is one of the main emblems of Iran (Persia).
The lion and sun motif gained widespread popularity following the advent of Islam, appearing frequently on coins, metalwork, tiles, and miniature paintings throughout Iran, Central Asia & India.

Today, the Lion and Sun emblem, often with the crown and wheat wreath, as seen in this photo, is used by the Iranian diaspora, monarchists, and opposition groups as a symbol of pre-revolution Iranian identity, national pride, and resistance against the current government.
It is commonly seen on flags during protest movements.

Thank you Maryam, your flag is very much appreciated, and the huge impact this flag represents. 👏

Harry received this flag, a day after Australia Day, and we've been meaning to show you!
A huge THANK YOU to our friend, Irada!
Irada has had this flag for well over 20 years, and was eager to pass it over to Harry.
It's a flag by John Christian Vaughan the founder of Australiana Flags company.
Very special indeed

Interesting though, we've been to John Vaughan's flag shop 2 years ago, located in a nearby suburb at Northbridge.
He certainly knows all things flags and it's deep history.

An extract from the internet;
John Christian Vaughan is a renowned Australian vexillographer, historian, and founder of Australiana Flags (1973–2017), based in Northbridge, NSW. As a leading expert on flag history, protocol, and design, he proposed National Flag Day (September 3rd) and has designed numerous flags. He was located in Northbridge, where he ran his flag showroom.

And his webpage..

Thank you so much Irada for your flag.
We have always said we need to return back to John's workshop and place a flag purchase order of all the Australian states!
This is now our reminder

Hello all, did you miss these updates?
Harry received some STATE flags from our family friends, the Keranis family - thanks so much for thinking of Harry in your travels.
To our horror, Harry was not familiar with the two from Spain;
CATALONIA (which is in the region of Barcelona), and VALENCIA - both regional flags of SPAIN
And
City of ATHENS - GREECE

Reminds me of when we were in Greece, swimming at the beach (with Turkey close by), and Harry stated that we're between 2 countries.. and 2 continents!! Made me laugh 😃
