| Full description: |
A sledging flag in the form of a forked pennant. The flag is double-sided and is made in two sections: a white square section on the left with two red ribbons appliquéd to form a St George's Cross, and a yellow tail with the crest of Emmanuel College, Cambridge (a lion holding a wreath 'Emmanuel') on one side and Brian Roberts' family crest (a shield with three stars and an eagle above it and the motto 'Post Funera Virtus') on the other. There is a green silk border all the way around the flag, with a green cord edging which is bound round at the corners to form two loops. These loops are reinforced with metal.
