It cleaned up great Boot. A nice bit of history really.
Interested in history as I am, I was curious about the coat of arms and found this:
Dieu et mon droit (French pronunciation: [djø e mɔ̃ dÊwa]) meaning God and my right or literally frieu et mon droit (My divine right) is the motto of the Monarch of the United Kingdom outside Scotland.
It appears on a scroll beneath the shield of the version of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom used outside Scotland.
The motto is said to have first been used by Richard I (1157-1199) as a battle cry and presumed to be a reference to the divine right of the Monarch to govern.
It was adopted as the royal motto of England by King Henry V (1386-1422) with the phrase "and my right" referring to his claim to the French crown.

great stuff.
