The coat of arms of Liverpool consists of a liver bird holding a seaweed in its beak in a white background. The arms and crest were granted by the College of Arms on March 22, 1797, and the supporters were granted the next day, on March 23.
The motto — Deus Nobis Haec Otia Fecit — is Latin for "God hath granted us this ease". The liver bird has since been the symbol of Liverpool, being used in the arms of Liverpool, New South Wales, coat of arms of Paul McCartney, and the crest of Liverpool FC.
