Barbados: National Flag Stock Image

The national flag of Barbados was officially adopted on November 30, 1966, the islands first Independence Day. It consists of a triband: two bands of ultramarine (the oceans around the island) embrace a golden middle band, representing the sand on the island. A black trident head is centred within the golden band. The three points of the trident represent the three principles of democracy – 1) government of, 2) for, and 3) by the people. The design for the flag was created by Grantley W. Prescod (from Wikipedia).
