The royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, or the royal arms for short, is the official coat of arms of the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II. These arms are used by the Queen in her official capacity as monarch of the United Kingdom. Variants of the royal arms are used by other members of the British royal family, by the British Government in connection with the administration and government of the country, and some courts and legislatures in a number of Commonwealth realms. A Scottish version of the royal arms is used in and for Scotland. The arms in banner form serve as basis for the monarch's official flag, the Royal Standard.

They are also informally known as "geographic counties", to distinguish them from other types of counties of England.
The London Gazette is one of the official journals of record or Government gazettes of the Government of the United Kingdom, and the most important among such official journals in the United Kingdom, in which certain statutory notices are required to be published.

This claim is also made by the Stamford Mercury (1712) and Berrow's Worcester Journal (1690), because The Gazette is not a conventional newspaper offering general news coverage. It does not have a large circulation.

John Atcheler was the operator of a slaughterhouse in the City of London and claimed to be “Horse Slaughterer to Her Majesty Queen Victoria”. While horse slaughterers were highly valued at the time, Atcheler still made a significant fortune in his line of work, no doubt in due of his self proclaimed aforementioned title. To this day it is disputed as to whether or not John Atcheler had any form of official title as "Her Majesty's Horse Slaughterer" at all. John Atcheler was married three times and had many children between two of them. Atcheler's grave can be found in Highgate Cemetery in the Camden district of London.
