The description is:
Arms: Argent on a cross gules enfiled in pale by two mural crowns or a rose of the first stalked and leaved proper.
Crest: Issuant from a mural crown or a demi dove wings expanded proper.
Motto: Londinii Defende Tuos Deus Optime Cives ("O, Most Gracious Lord, Defend Thy Citizens of London").
The cross is the cross of St. George, exactly as used in the Arms of the City of London, and the white rose is taken from the Arms of Cuthbert Wilkinson, the first Master.
""The Guild was formed in 1908 for all fellow Freemen of the City of London – today we number almost 1,600 members from all backgrounds, and from a wide range of professions. In addition, our Annual Programme is the City’s most extensive. It features events with privileged access for Members and their guests, ranging from opportunities to dine in London’s finest Livery Halls, to less formal activities. Our Annual Banquet is a highlight of the Guild’s calendar and attracts members from all over the world.
