The Swedish flag is the oldest recorded flag. The blue background and yellow cross have been known since the 16th century. These two colors could have represented from the Coat of Arms, and the design of the Swedish flag was probably taken from the Danish flag. June 6, 1916 was known as Flag Day and this was also Sweden’s National Day. They raise the flag at 9:00 am and then the flag is lowered at sunset. This is one of Sweden’s National Emblems. ~VictoriaImage: http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/xmas/calendar/flags/swedish_flag.jpg
