European Union flag, but inspired by the Hertenstein Cross from 1946.

from /r/vexillology Top comment: The Hertenstein Cross was originally used as a flag by the federalists movements, having a two-sided E in red with a white circle on black background. Instead of having a flag designed based on the European Federalists and related organisations, the EU later chose to adopt the same flag as the Council of Europe (12 golden stars on blue background). More information in [this brief Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertenstein_Cross).

The US flag lowered and the Philippine flag raised in Manila, Independence Day, July 4, 1946.

from /r/vexillology Top comment: The United States, realizing that a country founded against colonialism probably shouldn’t have its own colonies, agreed to grant independence to the Philippines, setting the date to July 4, 1946. That was celebrated as Philippine Independence Day until 1962 where it was revised to June 12, 1898
