The Coat of Arms of Greater Manchester was granted to the Greater Manchester County Council upon its formation in 1974 by the College of Arms. The county council was abolished as a consequence of the Local Government Act 1985 which rendered the arms as being no longer officially in use.〔 〕 ==Description== The blazon of the arms is described as follows:〔 *〕 *Shield: The shield bears ten turrets in gold, representing the ten districts of the County, on a red ground. *Supporters: The shield is supported on each side by a lion rampant in gold. Each lion bears on its shoulder a badge in red, the lion on the right of the shield bearing a badge with a French horn, representing music and culture, and the lion on the left of the shield bearing a badge with an open book, representing learning and academic life of the County. *Crest: The helm is surmounted by a demi-lion carrying a banner bearing ten small turrets in gold on a red ground. *Motto: ''"Ever Vigilant"''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coat of arms of Greater Manchester」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
