[Isle of Wight] by Roy Stilling

Under the reorganisation of English regional government in 1974, the Isle of Wight was separated from Hampshire. Since 1996 it has been a unitary authority, combining the powers of a county and district council.

In article about the flags of the Isles of Scilly, Scilly News reported the flag of Isle of Wight is a yellow cross on black, essentially the flag of Dewi Sant (Saint David) of Wales

The flag of Cowes (a city in the Isle of Wight) is a 2:3 banner of arms. It is a Saint George cross, red on white field, with a crown in the upper hoist and a ship in the lower fly. An idea of it can be obtained from www.cowes.co.uk.

Cowes is an important yachting harbor, at the mouth of a mighty river with the typical English name of Medina.
