Flags on inland boats

[TonyJover]

Hi all,

Traditionally, what flag should be flown on a narrowbat stern and bow?

I've heard differing opinions, contradicting themselves, with the only concensus being that we really shouldn't be flying the Union Jack at the stern (as we currently are).

I saw one Royal Navy site where it stated that it was illegal to fly either the Union Jack or the George Cross because the former is the flag of the Admiral Of The Fleet, and the latter is the flag of the Admiral.  Seriously?  On a leisure craft?

Anyone actually know?

Thanks in advance,
Tone

AFAIK you can fly the "Red Ensign" at the stern, and any non national or military flag anywhere else.
