Arms of the United Kingdom

The arms of the United Kingdom are a heraldic emblem representing the nation's sovereignty and history. They feature a shield divided into four quadrants: the three lions passant representing England, a lion for Scotland, and a harp for Ireland. Supporters—on either side of the shield—are a crowned lion for England and a unicorn for Scotland. Above is a royal crown, symbolizing monarchy, and a motto beneath reflects national values. These arms are used officially by the government and symbolize the unity and heritage of the UK's constituent countries.
