Without further ado, we are delighted to officially reveal the 2023 Flag of Fame in all its glory! Some of you may have already spotted it this year in recent updates from site.

Of all the amazing discoveries, finds, insights and imagery featured at each dig, this is the most important of all. This year's flag features around 2000 names that represent our current 9000+ members on Patreon who have made our digs possible. Whether or not you opted to include your name on the flag, we thank you all!

To make it easier to find your name, we've also created a PDF version with searchable text HERE.

It might take a couple of minutes to load and focus (it's a big design) so give it a moment! It will vary depending on device used, but you should be able to search for text in your internet browser, by holding down ctrl/cmd + F, then writing the name in the search box.

INTERACTIVE FLAG!

Our brilliant Matt Clark from Shadow Tor Studios has also produced an explorable 3D (ish) model which is available to view and interact with on Sketchfab HERE.

Give it a moment to load and enjoy looking around - Controls will be dependant on the device you are viewing on but you will need a good internet connection for it to work. Generally you click to turn, scroll or pinch to zoom and pan. Turn with Left Mouse click and drag. Click hold and drag middle mouse to move about. Double click a spot to zoom into a particular spot.

Let us know when you've found your name! Don't worry if you didn't make it on to this years flag - keep an eye out for the next opportunity in 2024.

Please note: To have been included on the 2023 Flag of Fame, you will have needed to opt-in and provide the specific name, via the entry form posted on Patreon by 10th May 2023 (assuming you were also in the qualifying membership tiers). As noted in that original post (to follow GDPR guidelines and to enable members to choose the name or dedication included), members must opt-in for each new flag every year, and names do not automatically carry over from a previous year's flag.

so sad I didn't know that you had to opt in.

Carrie S

I happened to spot my name when the banner was shown on a recent dig watch!

Elaine P

I found my name! Twice! (Not statistically impossible, but...). Hoping there are actually two of me, rather than my name taking up an extra space...

Laura Julian

Thanks for pointing us out Stewart! - The Bruno Family 🥰

Keith Jackson

I found my name. It’s nice to know that we Patreons are being acknowledged in something tangible again. I’m pleased to help TT to finance new digs anyway but this is a bit of icing on the cake. Long may this continue.

deadmanjones

Is moving from the nose to top right promotion?

Brett Cooper

You should make it available to purchase

choklityum

I found my name! Woot! So happy to be able to support Time Team and then sit back and enjoy some coffee (in my TT beer mug!) and a snack when new dig episodes are aired. Thank you all!

Kris Scotting

Found us!! top left hand side :) thank you

stuart sutcliffe

Found my name in the quickest time this year. Too right hand corner..oh yeah

John Boudewijn

Top and centre, baby! Just a little over the E.

Z T

Can you buy the flag?

Loz

Ooh found myself :)

Matthew Adams

I really wish I hadn't inexplicably started at the bottom working up... we are top right!

Matthew Adams

Vickie Betts

That took some doing, but I found myself!

Faeya

I'm so happy that I finally made it on the flag! It was definitely worth the wait to be in one of those rays!! Just a quick comment though: Was the searchable PDF limited to Google Drive this year for a reason? The Google app has difficulty un-blurring the flag image, takes a long while to do so, and the blurr reappears every time the image is moved or zoomed. This was super frustrating when trying to find my name (same issue on newer Samsung phone & on iPad)! In previous years, I was able to download the file directly so it could be opened in better PDF readers. This year, the best workaround was try to open it in Adobe directly from my Google Drive, but I got an error every time. The fix is pretty easy: There's a settings button witin the sharing options screen for the file (desktop vs only, not in apps), and from there, you can check the box to enable downloading, printing & copying. This minor tweak would let your Patrons view the file in a PDF reader that is better equipped to handle the large file!

Matthew Rice

Left above the eyebrow! Thanks TT! The search was half the fun..Enjoyed all the dedications to Prof Aston....

Zoe Propper

And I thought it was just me, I've been on phone and laptop trying to figure out why I could not download the file properly and it all looks blurry.

Jakub Jůzl

Tim Taylor is last but not least. :) Also spotted Carl Thorpe.

Joan Barrett

Could not find myself. I had anticipated that the names would be in alphabetical order.

Joanne Kellam

If you download the PDF, you can use the search functionality to find your name.

Joanne Kellam

Excited to see my name on the fourth row from the bottom, just floating off the E of TEAM!

Elaine Molenaar

I found my name!! Its the third name to the right of the E of Time in the middle of the E! So happy to find it!! Thank you Time Team for digging those wonderful places and showing us how brilliantly you are doing this and contributing to our human heritage

Johannes Schutte

Pleased to say my name is there.. Go Time Team :)

Paul Sandom

Not on there this year, maybe next.

Julianne Ture

I found my name! Upper left quadrant.

Mick Holden

Found it! Very cool! It's at the very base of the "I" so it will be easy to find on camera! Thanks for the opportunity to be on-site - at least in spirit.

Peter Hawker

G'day Team Time Team...thank you, I spotted my name frome here in Sunny Sydney Australia and just a note, when Peter was taking too long to count our masses, my rare surname worked in the blink of an eye.

Edwin Jacobs

I found my name in the 3D-version, the pdf is quite blurry so search for my name does not work. Please check the pdf-version.

Joanne Kellam

I found you! Just below and to the right of the bottom lip on the rightmost face! I searched for Barrett in the "Find" box on the pdf.

Michelle Watson

I found mine, it is below the eye. And I just realised that my name is just above Stewart’s arm in the other photo.

Michelle Curiel

I found my name, middle of left side on the circle.

Doug Mackey

Found it! Year 3! Go TT!

Dodi Thomas Mawer

Woo Hoo - year 3 and now I'm in the upper right 17th line down from the top

Books by Hal Grey

I found my name 👍🧐 Thank you for a great year

Jean Bawcutt

That took a while but I eventually found it above the M of TIME.

Jon Knight

Is there any way of checking that your name is included, because I am not sure if I did fill out the application form or not???

Tami McKerrow

I found my name! Thank you for the pdf version!!

Tami McKerrow

There is a Janice Knight on there but not a Jon.

Jon Knight

Thanks for the incredibly fast reply, I must’ve missed the email and link for this years flag, at least I have a screenshot of last year’s flag……

Joan Barrett

Joanne Kellam, thank you, I see my name. The Find mechanism wouldn't work for me, but clearly it works for you!

Jude Edling

Woohoo! I found Grandma & Isaac Edling! (I'm Grandma and I did forget what names I used, although I remembered it was for my little Isaac). I love all the dedications. Thank you Time Team patrons!!

Andrew Alexander

Really disappointed Time Team. Name not on there, and I am 100% sure I was not asked or had any opportunity to opt in.

Kay Theriault

Found myself middle, about a third down the logo! <3

Giles Cartmel

It was here on Patreon... look down the posts Apr 27th and May 7th (reminder). Took me a while to find my name on there. Had to just search on my first name as it wasn't working on my full name.

Betty Nichols

I found myself and my daughter Tonya AND Love the "dedicated to Mick Aston!

Des D

Yay! I managed to find myself, thank you!

Nina Gadsdon

Found my lovely Grampy’s name in the top row above the E in time. Very fitting, as it’s his fault that I’m interested in archeology in the first place. Thank you!

Virginia Ross

I also found the PDF version only downloaded in Google Drive this year and was blurry. However, on the upside, I eventually found my name. I suppose Time Team teaches us that all good things can take time and effort.😁

Michelle Watson

It was posted here on Patreon, and also sent by email, with reminders as well.

Shane Elliott

I couldn't remember if I'd responded this time around, but I found my name in the crescent!

Todd Gillespie

I was excited and moved to see my mom’s name up there! At the base of the T on Time. She passed away several years ago and was fascinated with English history and archeology.

Robin Smith

I found my name just above the sun. How exciting.

Jon Zephanius

Mine's near the centre of the flag, how awesome! It's the first year I've made it in time to be included in the flag so I'm very happy.

Richard Seaton

Third row down, on the right Richard and Averil. Just nice to be a part of it. Is Sir Tony on there?

Jill Bray - Author

I've found mine! Just to the right after centre of the the letter 'E' of Time.

Mark Freestone

Be so much easier if it was alphabetical! Still can’t find mine…!

Mark Freestone

Thanks! I didn’t look for long enough…

TimeTeamOfficial

Thanks for the suggestion and we'll keep this in mind for next year! Glad you found it in the end.

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi Andrew, We've checked our records of names and associated emails that were submitted for the 2023 flag and I don't seem to have a record of yours on the list. Feel free to send us an email at membership@timeteamdigital.com, or a direct message on Patreon if you want us to double check for a specific name or email that you think would have been used. Thanks!

TimeTeamOfficial

Glad you found it - sorry the PDF can take a while to render as it's such a large file. We'll be looking into alternative options for next year as we have so many names to include now!

Aly Ottomeier

Yay! Took a couple of different browsers but I found my name, 8 rows down, last on the right. I'm ridiculously chuffed to find it.

Mark Vent

I'm right there by the M of TIME - delighted!

Stephanie Hogan

This is my third year on the flag and I'm always delighted to see my name among all the other wonderful Patreons.

Reannag Teine

11 lines up from the right-hand moon, right at the edge :) --- Is there a way to download a copy?

Edwin Jacobs

Thank you. Will there be a downloadable version of the flag?

Kerie Receveur

Found myself and my Dad! 8 rows down, between the M and the E.

Jenna Tomlin

I'm right above the eye! Brilliant!

Gail Dausener

I'm so disappointed. I know I completed the request for this year, but my name didnt make it. This would have been my third year on the flag. Well, there is next year.

Sujatha Vempaty

Delighted to see my name! Thank you again for saving me through the pandemic!

Edie Markhouse

so pleased to see my name. I enjoy Time Team so much! There is nothing like it in the USA..

Zoe Propper

sue capps

Can not find my name Susan Capps-Jenner

Maggie Canvin

Found us, top right a number of rows down. Pleased.

Rick Shepard

Hey it worked! I found my name, thanks.

Patricia Amero

WOW! I really move about... I'm pleased to be near the top of the 5th ray of sunshine.🌞 PDF version FIND option (3 dots on the right) then inserting my surname made it easy to locate. My internet is slow, so it took a minute to focus when zooming in, then it was crystal clear. Thanks, Time Team 🤟😊

Hypatia1

Found it!.. this was much easier that previous years!

Bob Kingsmill

Our names are near the T in Time. It almost felt like cheating to use the search function ;-)

Emily Flotilla

Found mine! Lower RH corner, last name 11th row up from bottom!

Ceryswyn

Found mine, between the T and the I in Time. Loved the sketchfab version to interact with I was able to locate it fairly quickly.

David Vickery

Found it! - searching "manually" just below the base of the "I", using sketchfab as well. Very nice, thank you!

Larissa Spiker

Found the entry in memory of my mom! She was the one who introduced us all to TT and who arranged some very special memories for me. Under the left dot, right against the edge.

Christopher Samuel

Thanks for this TT! Also spent far too long playing with Matt's creation on Sketchfab trying to work out what can be seen in the reflections to try and make out what he used as the setting - are those trees in the reflection? :-)

I love the idea of naming Patreon supporters on the flags, and long may it continue - although I do have one concern: You seem to be suggesting that only those supporters in the upper tiers will be eligible to have their names included. This seems awfully unfair given the ongoing cost of living crisis. Not only the crisis, but what about those people in the lowest tier who, though they cannot afford to pay regular, higher amounts, are contributing over long periods - perhaps longer than those in the higher tiers - and yet will not get the chance to be named on a future flag. I guess what I am trying to convey is the unfairness of the current system. Perhaps the organisers will be willing to review the eligibility criteria... If I have misread or misunderstood things, please accept my apologies. Great to see Time Team back, even on YouTube 😉

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi. Every year, we open the Flag of Fame opportunity to each and every active member from Digger Crew tier upwards. The idea of the flag is to be inclusive of all our paid supporters and celebrate the contributions they've made to Time Team. In order to be included, active paid members (Digger Crew and above) need to opt-in via the form posted on Patreon by the closing date for that year. We look forward to welcoming members old and new on the 2024 flag!

eela026

Hi. Thank you for clarifying. May I say that TT videos are a welcome reminder of just how enjoyable it was to watch the Team spend those three thrilling days, digging the way around the country. Long may it continue.

Di

I found my name on the flag! Thanks TT. Have enjoyed ALL the Digs, extra posts, live streams, etc You have grown & improved each year. Outstanding

Ann McLeish

Found me - a proud digger !!! Get down and dirty with TT

Stewart Stark

Thanks TT found my name and feel honoured to be on there. Any future plans to sell these flags? I'd love to own some kind of official version/size with my name on. I'm a very proud TT fan and supporter. Keep up the amazing work!!

Lois Pallister

When is this Flag of Fame form coming and how do I find it? Been a member for 3 years at least and not been able to find it.

Martin Kilner

Here’s a trick, download the image, use Google photos app to search the image for keyword, found mine in seconds! 😎

Martin Kilner

Also they have done a searchable pdf version, link is in the description, I did a quick search for you but only one Lois was highlighted, hope that helps!

Martin Kilner

They have a searchable pdf version to type a keyword, the link is in the description… 🤓
