Trump' visit brings cherry red US flags

What incredible news! It is all about the flag. The US flag colour has been changed due to its unfit and incorrect shade of red. In this way, US President Donald Trump would not have been upset. 

Even the American flags were altered during Donald Trump's recent state visit to the U.K.. The man who had to make the modifications said that, after objections that Old Glory looked faded alongside the Union Jack, officials in London were forced to order custom-made U.S. flags with a deeper shade of red.

According to Nick Farley, the official flag supplier for the United Kingdom, the original flags were reportedly discarded mainly due to the apparently incorrect shade of red. 

Rather, it was hurriedly decided to replace the herry red copies, which, obviously, to no one's surprise, did not come cheap. Each one costs £800 ($1,000) to produce, bringing the total bill for the upgrade to around £50,000 ($67,000), footed by the British taxpayer. The 66 hand-sewn flags,  lined up, form The Long Walk leading up to Windsor Castle.  

Making his comparatively effective points quite clear, Farley told: "Their red is now stronger than the red on the Union flag. The change comes at an appropriate time when the favourite colour has clearly been used for the United Kingdom flag. 

The Americans decided that the red we use, which is called R01, was not suitable for them, and that they preferred a cherry red instead. Consequently, the decision was made to purchase all new flags. 

The blunder, which reportedly arose after the US President changed the shade of red used in a rather famous American flag known as Stars and Stripes, has attracted criticism from social media commentators. "It kind of shows how incompetent the Government is," one person has said.

The colour change has not been duly confirmed by the US, and Farley more or less acknowledged that the replacement, which usually occurs every five years, could have been implemented due to the old Stars and Stripes flags being clearly sun-damaged.

The managing director of the UK's Flag Consultancy argued that the very colour difference absolutely would have been noticed by Donald Trump had the new "cherry red" flags not been commissioned.
