ceremonial flag
Formal occasion standard
A ceremonial flag is a flag used for formal display rather than everyday flying—often fringed, mounted on a pole with ornamental hardware, and kept indoors.
Military units, government offices, and organizations display ceremonial flags at official functions: The honor guard presented the ceremonial flag.
These flags typically receive more elaborate care and protocol than standard flags.
