A Union Jack charged with the twelve yellow stars from the European Union flag was seen during the "United for Europe/Stop Brexit" demonstration organized in London on 25 March 2017 (also the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the European Union). (Photo) (Source)

This is the flag of the "Stand of Defiance European Movement" (SODEM). Anti-Brexit, as I understand it, but I'll have to leave the details to the natives. (source #1).

Though not a native, the "Stand of Defiance European Movement" was started by Steven Bray in September 2017. The group claims that "...they, like so many other English citizens, feel ignored and unrepresented..."since the referendum to leave the Eureopean Union was passed "...and hope to send a clear message to both the public and the politicians that Brexit is not the will of all of the people."
This flag and others has been displayed at many of their demostrations outside of Parliament and other places. (source #2) (source #3)

Two other flags are created by "marshalling by dimidiation" of the UK and EU flags. Version with the hoist half of the UK flag and fly half of the EU flag can be viewed here. Note how the dimidiation was not precisely done (star cut by the partition line) - the flag is obviously homemade.
Another version with the hoist half of the EU flag and fly half of the UK flag can be viewed here. Also note that the shade of blue is the same in both fields, closer to that of the EU flag than that of the UK flag.

On other photos the circle of stars appear to continue superimposed on the Union Jack side of these flags, thus making a variant slightly differing from these two flags.
