of the Corporation of Lloyd's.
(ii) The Club Burgee is white with a blue St.
George's Cross and the shield of the coat of arms of the Corporation of Lloyd's

The Club Rules copyright 2017 has that as article 20, though including more rules on when it's legal to fly these two.
The current article 21 is:
"21 Officers' Flag
The Commodore's flag is
the club burgee in the form of a broad pennant or swallow-tail. The
Vice-Commodore's is the same as the Commodore's with the addition of a blue ball
over the crest. The Rear-Commodore's flag is the same but with two blue balls
over the crest."
Note that the charge on the burgee is described as "the
shield of the coat of arms of the Corporation of Lloyd's." This makes it rather
odd to see the officers' flags having the same charge, but the lower ranks
having balls over "the crest".

Note that both the burgee and ensign are only available to Lloyd's Yacht Club
members and in order to have an ensign, members must have a British-registered
vessel, be fully paid up, and obtain a warrant through club channels.

Burgee based on
Mystic Seaport website, but the current Lloyds Yacht Club website shows the
burgee without
the red cross.

The burgee now in use is different (plain blue cross...), see the "merchandise'
page of Lloyd's YC website:
