London and Copenhagen are cities on islands just off the coast of Europe. England and Denmark are fraternal flag twins on two levels. Their royal standards unite lions in similar stances and numbers, likewise their national flags of the cross are similar. Both are connected to Europe, but just slightly detached.
Funny thing is that English Muffins and Danishes are a favorite breakfast treat in the United States. Coincidentally the US was initially formed from the English in 1776 and the last part of the Americas to become a part of the USA was from the Danish. It happened in 1916 when Copenhagen sold the islands to Washington.
