MID AND EAST ANTRIM

Additions : 2015 Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in December 2018

The shield is derived from the arms of the former borough of Ballymena, while the crest is largely derived from Carrickfergus, with shuttles and ship elements from the former Larne borough.

A knight stands to the left of the crest and an Irish warrior to the right. Both featured in the arms of the Carrickfergus borough. Slemish Mountain can be seen in the background and flax flowers in the foreground.

A wreath represents the coming together of three boroughs.

The motto ‘SIMUL ET DEINCEPS’, means ‘together and forwards’.
