Tesco has been accused of selling Union flags wrongly labelled as Union Jacks ahead of the King's Coronation. The error was spotted by a disappointed shopper who 'expected more from an iconic British brand'.
The anonymous customer also said he could not believe the supermarket made 'such a simple mistake with its British knowledge.' However, the issue might not be as straightforward as it seems.
The bunting, which was being promoted ahead of this weekend's royal occasion, was displayed as a 'Union Jack Flag'. Historically, the term is used when the flag hangs on the bows of a Royal Navy Ship. Therefore, some think the label should read Union flags.
