People who pride themselves knowingBuckingham Palace and its environs have been a little puzzled over an un- familiar flag flying over д building which has not been seen to display dags in the past.
The explanation is that the Duchy of Cornwall has at last returned to the office in Buck- ingham Gato which it had to leave after the 1941 bombing.
The dag, flown in honour of the King's birthday, war the Ducky flog, bearing the Duchy erms. The arma include 15 bezants (or balls) arranged in an equilateral trianglo (ilke a snooker frame).
