; against the red semi-circle sits a gold Fleur-de-Lis

as found on the civic arms

of the county town, Lincoln and of course, the county flag

The background, or field, of the fly end of each flag is a different colour and each bears a distinct, locally resonant emblem. Together, these three colour fields and the common red hoist division, recall the red, gold, blue and green colours of the county flag.

Parts Of Lindsey.

The proposed flag of Lindsey features a blue field to represent the important sea-faring trades and geographic location of this coastal territory. A golden vessel, with an unfurled white sail, continues the theme.

A similar arrangement was used by the former Lindsey Council for its civic arms.

Parts Of Kesteven.

Against a green field recalling the verdant countryside of the locality, an ermine band on the proposed Kesteven flag, represents the Roman “Ermine Street” which traverses the territory across its whole length.

The theme of an ermine band was present in the device

used by the Kesteven Rural District Council and both the arms

of the former Kesteven Council and the modern day Lincolnshire County Council
