In an enclosed circle of flags representing a number of nations, the New Zealand Flag should be flown on the flagpole immediately opposite the main entrance to the venue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From a Flagpole with Yardarm and Gaff

 

When displayed with the flag of another nation on a flagpole fitted with a yardarm, the New Zealand Flag should be positioned on the left hand side of the yardarm as viewed from the front. If the flagpole is fitted with a gaff, the New Zealand Flag should be flown from the gaff and above any other flag.

 

In Processions

 

If used on a pike, the first quarter of the New Zealand Flag should be placed in the position nearest the top of the pike. When carried the pike should be held straight up so that the flag may hang free. The New Zealand Flag should always lead in a single file of flags.

 

When two or more flags are carried side-by-side, the New Zealand Flag takes the position of honour on the right hand end of the line facing the direction of movement.
