Union Jack Sky Lanterns
Fly the flag
Sorry, this product is not available.
Flying high
Emblazoned with the Greatest Flag in the World™ these biodegradable paper lanterns are guaranteed to add patriotic wonderment to any Brit-themed celebration as they climb into the night sky like mini hot air balloons, drifting for 20 minutes over distances of up to 15 miles. It’s enough to bring a beery tear to any pub landlord’s eye.
Simply light the non-drip fuel cell and watch in awe as your great British lantern ascends gradually to the heavens, watched from above by Churchill, Shakespeare, Nelson and Mercury. Probably. Flying the flag has never been so inspiring. All together now, ‘Rule Britannia…’

- Do not release within 5 miles of an airport.
- Never use near airports, roads, dry standing crops, or in places where they may be misinterpreted as a distress signal.

Be careful when lighting the supposed 'non drip fuel cell'! I was lighting them with my 11 year old sister and some fuel dripped and burnt thought my cardigan then burnt and scarred my arm! PLEASE TAKE CARE!Cassie, Sussex - 7th April 2011
Firebox says: Yes please take care when using the lanterns, always follow the safety instructions above and let us know if you have any issues.
Just being a bit picky here... It's called a Union Flag, It's a Union Jack when it's being flown on a ship!Tom, Wales - 4th April 2011
Firebox says: Strictly speaking Tom, you're probably right, but we're pretty sure everyone knows what we mean!
