Loyalist Flags and Symbols
Flags depicted (from edges of mural to centre) are: the
red, white and blue Union flag of the United Kingdom, the red
flag of the City of Derry, and the white and red flag of Ulster.
Also shown is the shield of the City of Derry, depicting a
skeleton - a reference to the Siege of Derry, 1689, when Jacobite
forces laid siege to the city after the pro-Williamite citizens
refused to surrender. Starvation led to many deaths during the
Siege.

Bonds Street in the Waterside area, Derry, 1991
