Various other designs for a common flag were drawn up following the union of the two Crowns in 1603, but were rarely, if ever, used [4]. The two shown here include St George's cross with St Andrew's cross in the canton, and another version where the two crosses are side-by-side. Also, some Scots were upset that the Scottish flag was underneath the English flag in the version finally adopted, and preferred a version where the Scottish cross was on top (the English flag was placed between the cross of St Andrew and its background).[citation needed] Many Welsh people have proposed modifying the Union Flag to include either the Red Dragon or the black and gold colors of the flag of Saint David, arguing that the current design fails to represent their country.[citation needed] God save the Queen God save our gracious Queen Long live our noble Queen God save the Queen Send her victorious Happy and glorious Long to reign over us God save the Queen. Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour Long may she reign May she defend our laws And give us ever cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen
