This file is in the public domain in the United Kingdom because its <strong>Crown copyright has expired</strong>.

Under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, Crown copyright generally lasts:
* '''50 years''' from creation for most published Crown works, or
* '''50 years''' from the end of the year of first publication for photographs taken before 1 June 1957, or
* '''125 years''' from creation for Crown works that were never published.

'''Before using this tag''', check which of these terms actually applies to the specific file — they are not interchangeable, and getting the wrong one wrong means the file may not actually be public domain. If you're not sure which applies, don't use this tag; ask on the file's talk page instead.

This tag does not apply outside the UK. A UK Crown-copyright-expired work may still be under copyright in other countries.

== Template:PD-Crown ==
License tag for files whose UK Crown copyright has expired. Applied automatically when an uploader selects the corresponding option in [[MediaWiki:Licenses]], or can be added manually to a file description page.

'''Usage:'''
<pre>
{{PD-Crown}}
</pre>

Placed directly on a File: page, generally below any source/author information.

'''Important:''' this tag covers several different expiry terms depending on the type of Crown work and when it was created or published (see the template's own text). Whoever applies this tag is responsible for checking the correct term actually applies — do not apply it just because a file "looks old."
