The flag of Sark is white with a red St. George's cross and a red canton containing the two yellow lions (or in heraldic terms "leopards") from the flag of Normandy. The original flag was first created in 1938 by Herbert Pitt as a personal flag for the Dame of Sark and the flag was later officially granted to the island in 2020.[3]

Before its official grant, the flag of Sark showed the two lions protruding outside the canton and overflowing the red cross.[4] It was designed by Herbert Pitt in 1938 and adopted the same year as the personal standard of the Seigneur of Sark before unofficially becoming the island's flag in 1987.[5]
