A FLAG FOR CEREDIGION

The attributed arms of the ancient Welsh ruler Gwaithfoed and his kingdom of
Ceredigion, from which the modern county derives, features a gold lion reguardant
(looking backwards) on a black field. These arms were incorporated into the arms
used by the local council in the top left quarter of the shield (canton).

The erstwhile administration of Dyfed also included the Gwaithfoed arms to signify
the inclusion of Ceredigion as part of its territorial remit

both adoptions marking precedents for use of this design

to represent the county.

The flag is already locally recognised and has been seen flying at the Castle Hotel,
Aberaeron, in the county in Summer 2014.
