Comment on a miscellaneous Kingdom.

Many people make a mistake because they say England instead of Great Britain.

There are three different nations on the British Isle:

In the North Scotland

In the south England

In the West  Wales

There are two parts on the Irish island :

In the north : Northern Ireland (Ulster)

In the South : the Republic of Ireland (Eire, it is independent from the UK)

.

 The symbol of England is the rose it is the emblem of the Lancaster family. 

The symbol of Wales is the leek.

 The symbol of Ireland is the shamrock and the colour green is very important in Ireland.

The capital of the Republic of Ireland is Dublin.

England, Wales and  Scotland compose Great Britain  and with Northern Ireland we speak of The United Kingdom.

The flag of the United Kingdom is called is the Union Jack.

Elizabeth the second is the British queen.
