'Dannebrog' ( the Danish flag - and the world's oldest national flag ) turned 800 years yesterday
Story goes that it fell from the sky doing a military campaign in Estonia turning the tide of a battle into a victory for Denmark ( accepted theory is that it was a knights cape blown around in the wind ).
Traditionally Danes had fought under the Raven banner as a people, but as the smaller Danish Kingdoms were united under a single king, the need for a national symbol increased and the cape from the sky fitted the needs perfectly. ( personally I would happily switch back to the old Raven banner tomorrow )
