YORKSHIRE - EAST RIDING
Incorporated into : 1974 Humberside (1996 East Riding of Yorkshire), North Yorkshire
Official blazon
Arms : Per chevron Argent and Or in chief two Garbs proper and in base an Eagle displayed Azure on a Chief Sable three Roses of the first barbed and seeded proper.

Motto : 'SOLIS ORTUM CONSPICERE' - To behold the sunrise
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on 1945.
The blue eagle was used by the council in their pre-1945 device. It is probably derived from some of the old seals of the Borough of Beverley, where the town's arms were shown quartered with an eagle. The two garbs are for agriculture. The black chief has three Yorkshire roses.
The motto is a reference to its position on the east coast of England.
