the
history
of the dannebrog
is also the history of denmark as the world?s oldest national flag
it has always been the symbol of the country and the de- velopment it has undergone in 800 years. it has therefore developed from being the king?s flag, the state?s flag and the nation?s flag ? to the people?s flag. this last is well reflected in the postage stamps issued in 2019, which show the flag?s connection with our daily life. the beautiful legend surrounding the origins of the dannebrog is today an integral part of our national symbol and how we relate to it. it was there- fore obvious that the artist bjørn nørgaard chose to retain this legend in his description of the history of the danes in the christiansborg tapestries. the dannebrog and denmark will also be inseparable in future. the dannebrog today and in the future 26 the history of the dannebrog is the history of denmark
