The whole of the United Kingdom is comprised of one flag, known as the Union Jack or Union Flag. While the UK itself is made of smaller countries that also have their own flags, such as England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are represented together as whole in the Union Flag.
England is a separate country within the United Kingdom, so their own flag is different to that of the United Kingdom collectively. This in comparison for our American readers is although similar, it's not the same to that of a State such as Texas or New York within the United States of America, having their own state flags to that of the country's national flag.
The flag of England has a red cross on a white or more officially argent background. Argent is part of a color representation of light metals and is often considered interchangeable with white. The origin of this flag was constructed from Saint George's cross. The heritage behind this flag goes all the way back to the Middle Ages.
Wales is not seen because at the time of the creation of the Union Jack, they were considered to be a part England and represented as such.
