Queen Elizabeth II was from the Saxe-Coburg And Gotha 'house' (changed during the Great War to "Windsor") via her great-great-grandfather Prince Albert (of Victoria & Albert) but she symbolises Orangism to Northern Irish Protestants and in the portrait shown here she wears an orange jacket and an orange hat which has a band of orange lilies; the portrait is framed by a Union Flag and two clusters of orange lilies. The plaque on the right reads "This mural is a tribute to her majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Funded by the loyal people of Portadown. To God be the glory." Youtube video of the launch on June 8th. Brownstown Road, Portadown, replacing the George Best mural that re-imaged the Billy Wright mural c. 2007. Click image to enlarge
