The Flag

The flag is a banner of the arms. The arms was given to the town of Djursholm in 1916.
The main part of the flag consist of the arms of the family Banér - owners of the Djursholm estate for about 300 years. The most prominent member of this family would be Johan Banér, who was a general in the Swedish army in the 30 Years' War; he was born at Djursholm castle. The chief with the three roses were added to the arms of Djursholm as a sign for the "garden town".
On 1 January 1971 Djursholm was merged with Danderyd. The new municipality took the name of Danderyd but the arms of Djursholm.

The flag of Danderyd is already reported, but here is better (I think) image.

Blazon

Official blazon in Swedish: "En silverspets i rött fält och däröver en chef av silver, belagd med tre röda rosor."
Blazoned in English: "Gules a Pile Argent issuant from dexter pointing to sinister and on a Chief of the second three Roses of the first."
English blazon by Željko Heimer, 2001-Apr-16

The pile is in Swedish heraldry called a "kil", and is indeed issuant from the chief.
A "spets" is however by default issuant from the base, and is broader than a pile. While a pile at its broadest is not as broad as the field, a "spets" is. In German it is called Spitze. What would the English word for this be?
The "spets" in Danderyd's arms should really be blazoned as a "vänsterspets", as it is pointing to sinister (= vänster = left).
Elias Granqvist, 2001-Apr-16

I don't believe we have one. A rather broad, "inverted" pile you are describing would not be regarded as a charge, but simply as a field divided "party per chevron", it seems to me.
The German "Spitze" translates as (among other things) "point, apex, summit" (I assume "spets" can be similarly translated.)
