Happy Monmouthshire Day. The flag of Monmouthshire is flying in New Palace Yard today to mark this historic county day. Did you know that Monmouthshire has been referenced in the Chamber on more than 3000 occasions?

@LKoPBO @MikeDiplockre @TheFactCompiler No, it is Newport (Monmouthshire). "Gwent" was a council area that existed for 22 years from 1974-1996.

@MikeDiplockre @TheFactCompiler Is that Newport (Gwent)?

When the obituary of the Yookay is written, I'm sure there'll be an entire chapter on the ONS's move to Newport. Completely trashed the state's ability to collect useful data. In many areas, the government is now literally flying blind! 🙃

@Newport_BID @PrideinthePort How is LGBTQIA+ a single community? What does the '+' stand for? How is 'T' (which denies sex exists) compatible with 'LGB' (which rely on same-sex attraction)? What do rare birth defects ('I') have to do with any of the other letters? Why is 'drag' appropriate for minors?

The flag of Shropshire will be flown in New Palace Yard to mark Shropshire Day. This year, for the first time the Speaker’s flagpoles will fly the historic county flags on the relevant county days.

The #Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy) flag was registered in 2011. The design originates with arms attributed by mediæval heralds to the 6th century king Inyr. The pattern has a long association with the county and is widely used and recognised. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #CountyFlags 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Today is #MonmouthshireDay! Celebrated on the feast day of Saint Cadoc, the #Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy) born 5th-6th century abbot. He is known as ‘Cattwg Ddoeth’, ‘Cadoc the Wise’, for his many maxims and moral sayings. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #CountyDays 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@NewportCounty Sucking up to the FAW who tried to put you out of business!

Happy Historic County Flags Day! All our registered county flags have been hoisted in Parliament Square today to celebrate the nation’s #HistoricCounties.

Some more pictures from Westminster of the flags displayed for #countyflagsday

@RealCounties The wonderful county of Monmouth!

Which county do you call home? 🤔 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #RealCounties 🇮🇪

@jrdollery @RCAHMWales @RC_Survey @RC_Archive @RC_EnwauLleoedd @natlibscotmaps @BristolUni @latemedievalist @profhelenfulton @MatLampitt @MappingtheMarch Mostly OS 6/25-inch, but some tithe maps where the OS had modified the township boundaries to follow changes in civil parishes made the LGB, e.g. Llangunnock.

@jrdollery @RCAHMWales @RC_Survey @RC_Archive @RC_EnwauLleoedd @natlibscotmaps @BristolUni @latemedievalist @profhelenfulton @MatLampitt @MappingtheMarch Good work! I wonder how it compares to our data (hundreds, ancient parishes and townships) at monmouthshire-association.org.uk/downloads ?

@transport_wales @BlaenauGwentCBC Have the announcements been fixed yet, or do they still announce “Newport Gwent” (sic)?

🚆Brand new trains have been launched on the Ebbw Vale line today! These units provide customers with a more comfortable and reliable experience. ℹ️ news.tfw.wales/news/new-train…

@BruvverEccles @RealCounties That is a debate for another time! We were never really asked our opinion in 1972! 😆 #UtriqueFidelis

@RealCounties Incidentally, don't we include Monmouthshire as part of England?

The County of #Stafford is a shire in the Midlands. The north of the county is a land of rural hills. The south of #Staffordshire is urbanised, and the industrial towns of the Black Country drove the Industrial Revolution here. 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #RealCounties 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@GwentArchives FYI Monmouthshire is NOT a ‘former county’. See @wikishire’s interactive map for more detail and precise boundaries of this wonderful county: #Monmouthshire/centre=51.718,-2.949/zoom=9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wikishire.co.uk/map/#Monmouths… 🇬🇧 #HistoricCounties | #RealCounties 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @oglord
