Flag Audio Introduction
Flag Audio Description
Transcript: Underneath the green pointed roof, below the arch tip are silhouettes of four Redbridge landmark buildings in a row, from Left to Right, Redbridge Central Library, Redbridge Town Hall, Ilford Exchange and Fullwell Cross Library. Below, a sea of head and shoulders suggests a large crowd. In the centre, an A-shape structure holds up a floating man, bottom left a Christmas tree, a bumblebee in the centre, and on the right a cartoon of a girl. The figures and buildings are golden yellow, deep to light purple and orange for the background. Beyond the arch on either side are paisley swirls; deep red on orange.
