Adopted in 1970; The flag of Fiji is light blue with the flag of the UK in the upper hoist-side quadrant and the Fijian shield centered on the outer half of the flag. The blue symbolizes the Pacific ocean and the Union Jack reflects the links with Great Britain. The shield - taken from Fiji's coat of arms - depicts a yellow lion above a white field quartered by the cross of Saint George. The four quarters depict stalks of sugarcane, a palm tree, bananas, and a white dove.
