Memorial prior to its unveiling ceremony

The Union Flag appears to be reversed for when statically displayed, the hoist is on the observer's left. To fly the flag correctly, the white of St Andrew is above the red of St Patrick in the upper hoist canton (that is the quarter at the top nearest to the flag-pole).
