Andrew Rosindell M.P. is today celebrating the historic occasion of the flying of the flags of the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies in Parliament Square, London.

The flags were flying today for the first time ever, Thursday 1^st November 2012, for the State visit of the President of Indonesia to the United Kingdom.

Her Majesty’s Government has taken the decision to fly the flags of all the Territories and Dependencies for every State Visit in future and for Trooping The Colour, following years of campaigning to give them recognition by Andrew Rosindell M.P., supported by the Overseas Territories All Party Parliamentary Group and the Flags & Heraldry All Party Parliamentary Group, both of which he is Chairman.

Andrew has publicly thanked former Overseas Territories Minister, Henry Bellingham M.P. for his support and for ensuring that despite the bureaucratic hurdles, the flags were eventually flown for the Diamond Jubilee year of Her Majesty The Queen.
