Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

On one side of the main board in this arch is King Billy and on the other flags and a coat of arms associated with the Orange Order. One of the flags reads “For the Protestant religion – Constitution 1688“; on the ribbon banner are the words “Sit lux [et] lux fuit. [Let there be light, and there was light]”

This is the arch in My Lady’s Road, with Orange Order symbols (crown, ladder, star) surrounding a painting of King Billy and two small banners of Queen Elizabeth and the 36th Division going over the top, from the East Belfast Historical And Cultural Society and the Lagan Village Cultural Society.

Seen previously in 2010.

Emblem of the 36th (Ulster) Division, King Billy, and the Holy Bible, all in an orange-and-purple frame topped with a crown.

For a close-up of the plaque (in a different location?), see Fame’s Eternal Camping Ground.

“BYD” is possibly Ballee Young Defenders.
