“GOVERNOR General Sir David Vunagi has appreciated the process of design and granting of Coat of Arms by the British Monarch to Individuals and Institutions in the Commonwealth Realm during a visit to the College of Arms Museum in London Tuesday this week.
“Sir David was impressed with a collection of all Solomon Islands Coat of Arms carrying original signatures of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
“For Solomon Islands, three Coats of Arms have been granted during the British-Solomon Islands Protectorate up to Independence in 1978.
“The collection also included the current Solomon Islands National Flag and other crests granted and used mostly by the Anglican Church of Melanesia.
“Sir David was impressed with the collections which he said was an important piece of history for Solomon Islands.
“The College of Arms is the official heraldic authority for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and much of the Commonwealth including Australia and New Zealand.”
