From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Church Pennant

The Church Pennant as used by the Royal Navy, European Navies and Commonwealth Navies is a broad pennant combination of the English Flag at the hoist and the Dutch National Flag in the fly originating from the Anglo-Dutch wars of the late 17th century on Sundays to indicate that a service was in progress and a ceasefire existed between the waring nations, hence the origin of the pennant. It is flown on Ships and Establishments (Bases) during religious services.
