<p>The Government attaches great importance to our country’s history and traditions
and encourages recognition of our historic counties, often marked by local celebrations
on county days. I write to local leaders to encourage and support these celebrations
throughout the year. This year, there are 56 registered historic county flags across
Great Britain, which includes the addition of three new flags for Banffshire, Berwickshire
and Morayshire. My department proudly flies each registered county flag in Whitehall
to mark county days, and this includes flying the flag for Essex.</p>
