The new flag of Cambridgeshire has been announced. The design by Brady Ells has three gold crowns to represent East Anglia, in which Cambridgeshire is located. They are placed against a blue field which is the same shade used on the East Anglia flag. The wavy lines represent the River Cam and are in the colours of Cambridge University. (source)

Registered on February 1st 2015, the day it was announced as the winning design in a competition held to select a flag for the county, which had been organised by adventurer and campaigner Andy Strangeway in conjunction with the Flag Institute. The competition ran in 2014 and was endorsed by several local authorities. This winning design was one of six finalists selected from the original submissions, by a selection panel that included local county councillors. (source)
It should be noted that Ceremonial Cambridgeshire includes the traditional Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire counties.
