The European Peace Flag
The 1961 Rainbow Peace Flag was designed by Italian Franco Belsito - "Pace" meaning "Peace" - and became popular worldwide through 1960s anti-nuclear protest, and again in 2002 by the Iraq Anti-War movement. It varies from the LGBT Pride flag by having 7 colours, with purple at the top - these are used for the 7 themes of our 'Wales for Peace' stories.
