History of Belfast City Hall The window is in dedication to the king’s tribute to Ulster’s contribution in the First World War, particularly to the courage and valour of the 36th Ulster Division. The window depicts a medieval warrior and female figure in front of a stone monument headed with the Royal coat of arms. At the bottom is the Ulster flag between the flags of the allies from the First World War; Britain, France, USA and Ireland.

Coat of arms of Moyses Hill, a burgess mentioned in the original charter - A silver and green shield consisting of three gold lions and three gold shells with blue medieval armour above. Historic tablet below reads “1899 Belfast for assize purposes made a country borough and became the county of the city of Belfast. Sir James Henderson, first High Sheriff”. The vair-along with the supporting wolf-is taken from the arms of Sir Arthur Chichester, the founder of Belfast as it exists today, who obtained the city's charter from James I in 1613.

These are people who have homes who probably have relatively low income jobs who are also in need of coats and also in need of support in one way or another.
