How do you display a flag?
When two poles are crossed, the position of honor is the flag that ends on the left side from the point of view of an observer (the pole will therefore end on the right). In a semicircle, the position of honor is the center.
When two or more flags are carried side-by-side, the senior national flag takes the position of honour at the right-hand side of the line facing the direction of movement (the left of an observer watching the line approach).
Position of Honour. Due precedence and consideration should always go to flag flying etiquette and protocol in the United Kingdom. This is even more so for any display of the UK’s National Flags (or sovereign national flags). There are times when the aim of your presentation will be for decoration only.

Position and Manner of Displaying the Flag. When displaying the flag against a wall, either vertically or horizontally, the union (blue field with 50 stars) should be upper most and to the observer’s left (the flag’s own right). The union should also be to the observer’s left when displaying the flag from a window.
When on display, the Flag is accorded the place of honor, always positioned to its own right. Place it to the right of the speaker or staging area or sanctuary. Other flags should be to the left.
