An elegant rectangular floral arrangement faithfully portrays the Union Jack using only fresh red, white, and blue flowers, arranged so precisely that the flag's familiar pattern appears almost graphic despite being entirely made of petals. The piece lies flat against a plain white backdrop, allowing the intricate details and saturated colours to command full attention, much like a centrepiece prepared for a memorial service in a Thornton Heath church hall. At the centre, a strong St. George's Cross stretches from top to bottom and side to side, composed of densely packed red blossoms that create a smooth, continuous stripe. These red sections are bordered on both sides by pristine white flowers, forming clear, bright outlines that keep the colours distinct. Diagonally, thinner red lines symbolising St. Patrick's Cross are also constructed from the same red blooms, each carefully edged with narrow white floral borders. Beneath these, broader swathes of white represent St. Andrew's Cross, giving structure and balance to the flag's design. All remaining space is filled with deep blue florets, likely small-headed varieties arranged close together, forming rich triangular fields of colour and a neat blue perimeter around the piece. The overall surface looks plush and padded, with subtle shadows where petals overlap, suggesting a soft, almost velvety touch. Crafted with the steady hand of an experienced local florist in Thornton Heath, perhaps at Florist Thornton Heath serving homes off London Road and the surrounding estates, this patriotic funeral tribute communicates respect, remembrance, and national pride. It feels especially suited to a farewell for a British serviceman, a lifelong patriot, or a local resident who held their country close to their heart.

A large rectangular funeral tribute presents the Union Jack fashioned entirely from fresh flowers, the whole flag rendered with remarkable precision and a richly textured finish. The arrangement rests on a plain white background, reminiscent of a tribute laid out in a quiet Thornton Heath chapel before a service begins. Bold red flowers, likely tightly clustered chrysanthemums, form the strong vertical and horizontal bars of St. George's Cross, their rounded heads merging into a continuous ribbon of colour. These red bands are cleanly outlined with smooth strips of white blooms, providing a crisp, bright separation from the surrounding blue sections. From corner to corner, narrower red diagonal lines evoke St. Patrick's Cross, again bordered in white, resting on the broader diagonal white of St. Andrew's Cross. Deep, royal blue flowers, possibly hydrangeas or similar compact florets, fill the remaining areas of the flag and trace a uniform border around the outer edge. The petals sit closely together, giving the piece a plush, almost cushion-like feel, as though it might be gently soft to the touch. Under soft, even lighting, the red, white, and blue appear vivid yet respectful, with delicate shadows adding subtle dimension. This floral Union Jack would be at home in a Thornton Heath memorial setting, perhaps delivered to a local church near the High Street or a crematorium serving the Croydon area. The overall impression is one of quiet dignity and deep national pride, a poignant way to honour a loved one's British identity at a funeral, remembrance service, or military commemoration. The photograph presents a beautifully executed Union Jack floral tribute, a generous rectangular arrangement that appears ready for placement at a graveside or crematorium service in Thornton Heath. The flag is recreated entirely from fresh flowers, with every inch of the base covered to create a lush, cushion-like surface. A richly toned field of dark blue chrysanthemums forms the backdrop, their tightly clustered petals giving a velvety, almost quilted look. Sitting boldly on this blue, broad stripes of clean white chrysanthemums create the unmistakable central cross of England, running vertically and horizontally with crisp, straight edges. Diagonal across the design, vivid red carnations form strong, dynamic bands that complete the Union Jack pattern; each red stripe is trimmed with fine white floral edging that keeps the detail sharp and faithful to the original flag. The arrangement has a subtle, gentle dome through the centre, so the flag seems to lift slightly towards the viewer, lending it presence and dignity. At the base, a pleated strip of royal blue satin ribbon hugs the lower edge, its soft shine catching the light and framing the flowers with an elegant finish. The overall colour palette is patriotic yet soothing, the reds, whites, and blues harmonising rather than shouting, making it especially fitting for a respectful farewell. One can easily imagine this tribute being delivered by a local Thornton Heath florist for a service near St Paul's Church or along London Road, chosen by family or friends to honour a loved one's British heritage, military background, or steadfast sense of national and community pride.
