Which means that 19, the red rose, is Lancashire.

OK, I've nabbed the easy ones. I'll take a back seat now! :rofl2:

39 Yorkshire
19 Lanky shire

And I suspect 4 to be Durhamshire (Land of the Prince Bishops).

Is 26 Nottinghamshire? The archer suggests Robin Hood to me.

Yes, and the Warwickshire was right too. For each flag there is some tremendous detail. The Cheshire link I posted up in particular has loads!

Dragonses are Welsh, so it's Wales or Westeros.

Number 34 contains Martlets - or the drunken birds of Sussex, as they're legless (so can't land).
And 6 must be Kernow - down at the bottom left of the country.

I had a very entertaining trip to meet a friend. Due to the fact that Leicestershire will be tier 3 next week we decided to meet at the county border and conduct our business but it didn't stop me getting a picture of the A6 as it enters Leicestershire from which I claim the final England county. As you can see from the second picture it was an "only just" picture :-D :
