Which item has a canton a hoist and a fly?

In vexillology, a flag that has a canton, a hoist, and a fly refers to a flag design. The canton is typically the upper corner of the flag, often containing a symbol or emblem, while the hoist is the side of the flag that is attached to the flagpole, and the fly is the opposite side that flaps in the wind. This design is common in many national flags, including the United States flag, which features a blue canton with stars on a field of red and white stripes.

Can anyone fly the flag of the Vatican City I bought the Flag of the Vatican City and I would like to have it hanging in the front of my home. Is there any rules to this Can anyone have the flagThank?

I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THESE SORT OF THINGS BUT, I DON'T THERE'D BE A PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE FLYING THE FLAG I MEAN YOU'D PROBABLY JUST AS READILY FLY THE AMERICAN FLAG SO I DON'T THINK ANYONE COULD STOP YOU FLYING THE FLAG OF THE VATICAN. Roman Catholic institutions in the UK regularly have the Vatican flag flying outside them. The law permits a private citizen to fly any flag he or she so wishes on his or her private land provided that the flagpole has planning permission. Planning permission is not required for a flagpole if it is used solely to fly the union flag. Further exemptions include St Georges flag in England on St Georges day. The Saltire in Scotland on St Andrews day, the Cornish flag in Cornwall on St Pirans day and the welsh flag or St Davids cross on St davids day in wales.
