Drapers' Company Anniversary Visit

The Queen visited Drapers' Hall to mark the 70th anniversary of her admission to the Freedom of the Company.

While most of The Queen's symbolic badges are military in nature, she also has brooches representing other organizations, like the Drapers' Company Badge seen here (on Her Majesty as well as versions worn around the neck of other members at this event). This badge was last seen in 2012.

The Drapers’ Company Badge

The Drapers' Company Badge
The Drapers’ Company is one of the livery companies, or trade associations, in the City of London, and the Queen is its Freeman. As such, she has this special badge to wear as a brooch for related engagements.
The Drapers' Company Coat of Arms
The badge mimics the company’s coat of arms, which depicts “three sunbeams issuing from three flaming clouds crowned with three Imperial crowns of gold on a shield of azure”. The blue background looks to be enamel, with detailing in gold and a glittering surround. Framing the oval is the company's motto, "Unto God Only Be Honour and Glory".
