Subject: Flags on HMS Victory at Trafalgar

I'm trying to find out what ensigns/flags were flying on HMS Victory as she approached the battle [approx. mid-day].

In particular I'm trying to establish which flags [ie. admirals flag, white ensign, union flags, pennants etc], and where they were placed, and if at all possible - how large they were?

I'm okay for the signal flags, as these are well documented.

Thanks everyone for your help
