Coat of Arms
The Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom is the official coat of arms of the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II. These arms are used by the Queen or King in their official capacity as monarch, and are officially known as the Arms of Dominion. National Anthem "God Save the Queen," is most commonly credited to a keyboard piece written in 1619, by John Bull. When a male monarch is on the throne of England, it's referred to as "God Save the King."
National Holiday There is no (one) specific national holiday in the United Kingdom as each country has its own. All major public holidays in the UK are listed here!
