The College of Arms is a royal corporation consisting of professional officers of arms, with jurisdiction over England, Wales and Northern Ireland and some Commonwealth realms. The college investigates, records, and advises on the use of coats of arms (armorial bearings), royal grants, and pedigrees. It also undertakes the planning of state ceremonies such as coronations and the first sitting of Parliament.  The College is also the official body responsible for matters relating to the flying of flags on land, and it maintains the official registers of flags and other national symbols.

The College featured in the James Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
