This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

People are already allowed to carry the Union Flag, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The police have said that they asked this group to leave the Gala for different reasons, and not for displaying the Union Flag.
