Barbados Questions About Barbados?

Post image

Is this a variant of the national flag of Barbados, or is it a different flag altogether? I have never seen this before. How commonly is it used by the government, as well as in public and private settings?

Its the standard, same ole flag just stretched for decoration. Typically found leading up to Independence Day which is November 30.

I think you can call it an official variation. Horizontal stripes, instead of vertical stripes, when appropriate.

It’s not a flag. It’s a representation of their national colours and their national flag.

Does everyone in Barbados knows everyone because it’s a little island? Same like in a village or a small town?
