Emblem
This official emblem celebrates the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on 6 May 2023.
The emblem is created with the flora of the four nations of the United Kingdom: the rose for England, the thistle for Scotland, the
daffodil for Wales and the shamrock for Northern Ireland.
These natural forms combine to describe St Edward’s Crown, used for the Coronation of British monarchs. The emblem was designed by Sir Jony Ive with his creative collective LoveFrom.
The Coronation emblem is free to download and use to mark His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort’s Coronation.
In commemoration of this historic event, every member of staff at East Anglia RFCA receives a re-usable travel mug bearing the official emblem and the EA RFCA logo.
