A Picture Teaser …

Well, Well, Well, How’s about This, then?!


Now here’s a teaser for you; today’s teaser’s  been inspired by the simple fact that today is the day — in 1910 — that George the 5th was named the King of Great Britain, on the death of his father, Edward the 7th.


So, with that in mind, I’ve put this lot together.


They’re various nations Coats of Arms; or emblem, heraldic symbols, what have you.


I’m challenging you to name them.


From top to bottom.


In order.


I’m feeling nasty …
