The Bedfordshire flag raised above Biggleswade rugby club. The flag's yellow and red quadrants are taken from the arms of the Beauchamp family, powerful in the county after the Norman conquest of England and constructors of Bedford Castle. The blue and white wavy lines symbolise the Great Ouse, which flows through the county. The three shells are taken from the coat of arms of the Duke of Bedford.
