Purpose of the shredded flags hanging half mast in London? (sh.itjust.works)

Visiting London for a few days, and noticed a lot of half-mast flags: red cross on a white background (reminiscent of some crusaders, Templars?) any symbolism behind them being shredded? Its a lot of them, must have cost a ton of money…

Got them round here too, look like complete shit. Get a proper flag and flagpole you bellends.

In Northern Ireland, it's become so commonplace that they kind of have like a frame attached to the lampposts now to accommodate them and hang them vertically. It actually looks rather pretty when done properly. I saw a similar thing in China as well.
