The arms were granted by Her Majesty (Queen Elizabeth) by a Royal Warrant dated 12 July 1996. The arms are based on the traditional arms of the Island which compromised the 'Three Legs' (Triskeles) on red shield below a Crown and with the motto 'Quocunque Jecris Stabit' below the shield.

There are two bird supporters on the arms a peregine falcon and a reven.

Her Majesty amongst other titles is known as Lord of Mann. This title dates to 1405 when the English King Henry IV gave the Isle of Man with all its rights to Sir John Stanley. The Stanley family ruled the Island for 360 years until George III assumed the Lordship which has passed down the Royal line to Queen Elizabeth.
