The King grants the Mayor of London permission to use the GLC's historic coat of arms

The coat of arms, once a familiar sight in London, was first granted to the Greater London Council (GLC) in October 1966, but when the GLC was abolished, the armorial was put into abeyance. Most municipal authorities have a coat of arms, but when the GLA was created in 2000, it didn't apply for one. Coats of Arms in most of the UK (except Scotland) are granted and managed by the College of Arms, under powers delegated to it by the Crown.
