The City of Sunderland is a metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear in North East England.
As a metropolitan authority, Sunderland retained responsibility for waste collection, although disposal of the garbage was a county function, and for education.

This also appears in other coats of arms, but not in any flags or banners of arms which I have seen, with the possible exception of a rather unsatisfactory flag which was flying at Durham Castle, which is now part of the University of Durham.
It was a maroon field with a coat of arms, including separate a motto, stuck in the middle of it - not at all heraldic.
There are of course many depictions of the Washington coat of arms (which formed the basis of the flag for the District of Columbia).

 Armorial Bearings of Sir Winston Churchill - The Churchill Centre
The original arms of the first Sir Winston Churchill (1620-1688), father of the First Duke of Marlborough, were extremely simple and were certainly in use by his own father in 1619.
No confusion could therefore arise and, indeed, this is the form in which the arms are permanently shown on Sir Winston's stall-plate in St George's Chapel, Windsor (where the arms of all Knights of the Order of the Garter since the Order's foundation in 1348 are displayed).
Occasional representations of Sir Winston's arms, showing a mullet, are sometimes seen in books, but these are quite wrong as his father's hypothetical mullet was superseded by a crescent over twenty-four years before Winston's birth.

 SAFC.COM: / History / Sunderland AFC Crest
Sunderland AFC's crest was unveiled in July 1997, to coincide with the opening of the club's magnificent new home, the Stadium of Light.
Supporting either side of the crest are a pair of majestic lions which also feature on the City of Sunderland's coat of arms - a reference to the long tradition of mutual support between two great institutions.
A colliery wheel crowns the club crest in honour of the strong mining traditions of County Durham and acts as a reminder that the Stadium of Light lies on land once occupied by Wearmouth Colliery.

Sunderland could have combined the points from their last two Premiership seasons and still been relegated in both.
Quinn is, after all, arguably Sunderland's greatest legend of recent times, not just for the 61 goals he scored in 168 league starts for the club, but because he used the money raised by his testimonial to fund a children's ward at the local hospital.
Sunderland were one down at half-time, but came back to win 2-1, after, it was widely assumed, a half-time rollicking.

The state flag of Washington DC, which was adopted in 1938, is based on the shield from the Washington Coat of Arms.
Early examples of the Washington Coat of Arms, dating back to the beginning of the 15th Century, can be seen above the main door on the West front of Hylton Castle and on the cloister ceiling in Durham Cathedral.
It is often assumed that George Washington used his family coat of arms as a basis for the American 'Stars and Stripes' flag, although there is no direct proof of this.

The Palmer arms are very elaborate and tell a genealogical story of the relationship between the Anglo-Irish Palmer, Smyth, and Ralphson families.
The grant of arms mentioned as dating to 8 August 1674 refers to the Ralphson family and not the Palmers.
The other sons must difference their arms, that is, they can be similar to the father's arms, but must differ in some way.

Bell of Sunderland, co. Durham: Sable a chevron ermine between three church-bells silver; crest, A hawk close proper, beak and bells gold; Bell: Azure a fess between three church-bells gold (Burke).
The arms given by Burke for Bell of Sunderland, co. Durham, are not found in the Visitations of Durham of 1575, 1615 and 1666.
This is the end of the original Gore Roll; but for the sake of completeness I shall add a coat found only in the Child copy, numbered 100, and apparently inserted after Whitmore had written his description in 1865.

 Prisk Genealogy Worldwide - Coat of Arms
Families sometimes used arms to which they were not entitled and these are mentioned in unofficial printed sources such as Burke's General Armory, an alphabet of arms which was first used in 1842.
Until 1416 when Henry V issued a proclomation a right to bear arms can only be acquired by proving descent in an unbroken male line from someone using arms before 1416 or by a grant from the Kings of Arms who were the senior Officers of Arms.
Rights to use arms in existence since 1416 were confirmed by the Heralds at the Visitations of the counties which were made approximately every thirty years between 1538 and 1689.

 Coat of arms of Sunderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first grant of arms was made in 1947, and this was not amended in 1967 when additional territory was incorporated into the County Borough of Sunderland.
In 1974, on the creation of the Metropolitan Borough of Sunderland, the arms were regranted with amendments, and in 1992 when Sunderland was created a City an entirely new grant of arms was made, the main charges being quite unlike any previous grant.
These arms were generally seen only embossed or printed in monochrome, so the usual blazon was "Argent, a sextant sable", however when used on street furniture various colours were used, often depending on what was available to the painter.

Each coat of arms is given a unique number in the blazon section.
Each coat contained in the ceiling is discussed, primarily from a genealogical standpoint, and illustrated with a redrawing.
For example, the third edition gives a Coat of Arms for the Duke of Rothesay (the senior Scottish title held by the Prince of Wales.) Since this title was untenanted when the first edition was issued, the coat was not included at that time.

In this myth, the legitimacy of the ruling house is confirmed when a stag enters; the animal is hunted, and the border of the territory is defined by the chase; the future ruler is the individual who eventually slays the stag.
What the many families displaying the stag in their arms have in common is that they were originally part of the great Eoghanacht tribal grouping, which dominated Munster until the time of Brian Boru.
