Years ago I reported on the coats of arms granted by Queen Elizabeth II for
the 17 Islands groups of the Bahamas for the occasion of independence or an
anniversary of it. These coats of arms are on 17 flags for 17 island groups and
are officially used on various celebrations. All flags are white with the arms
centered and the name "Commonwealth of The Bahamas" in various colors on each
flag, below the arms. You can see them all (not in full) in the parade and then
positioned on the photos here:

Here is also a link to images of
all 17 coats of arms (ignore Spanish Wells):

These flags do not represent the 32 or 33 District Counc, ils of the Country,
but the Islands Groups. District Councils emblems usually consists of the proper
coat of arms and the name of the district around it in seal-like form. So, two
or more districts use the same coat of arms, but with different text around
them. I don't know if there are district councils or town committees flags.
