Until the 9th of October 1962, Uganda was a British Protectorate and thus was administered under Her Majesty’s coat of arms ( the lion and the unicorn). The brand new legislative council building was also appropriately branded ( no pun intended).
On the first anniversary of independence, 9th October 1963, a group of Gayaza High School girls visited the parliament buildings, now branded with the Uganda coat of arms (the crane and the Uganda Kob).
