Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in August 1996.
The arms show most prominently the white roses these being common to the old arms and to the corporate device of the East Riding, set on a chevron, engrailed plain cotised. The background is barry vert and gold to represent the land and the wealth it has brought. The East Riding's remarkable buildings and monuments sacred and lay are alluded to in the two instruments carried by the supporters, they are the pre-Christian symbol of the trident representing commerce and a cross flory on the staff. The trident also occurs in the arms of Holderness Borough Council and the cross occurs in the arms of the Borough of Beverley and the Borough of East Yorkshire.
The lion on the left (Dexter) occurs in the device of Boothferry Borough Council and, as wholly blue, in the arms of the Borough of Beverley suggested by the blue lion of the Percy's seen on their tomb in Beverley Minster. The lion has a wreath of barley round the neck.
The sea-horse is present as properly representing the maritime life of the East RidingThe crest is composed of a mural crown which is the sign of a local government body surmounted by the eagle as used in the old East Riding arms. He clasps a crosier (taken from the arms of East Yorkshire) and sword, the latter to represent the industry of the area. The mantling is red with a white lining, the colours of St. George.
