The monarch's official flag in the United Kingdom is the ((Royal Standard)), which depicts the Royal Arms. It is flown only from buildings, vessels and vehicles in which the Sovereign is present; elsewhere, the ((Union Flag)) is flown. The Royal Standard is never flown at half-mast because there is always a sovereign: when one dies, his or her successor becomes the sovereign instantly.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page5016.asp|title=Royal Standard|accessdate=2008-10-10|publisher=Official website of the British Monarchy}}</ref> The monarch's official flag in the United Kingdom is the ((Royal Standard)), which depicts the Royal Arms.
