    The cresent moon and star represent the unusually bright moon which Turks/Muslims credit with 'saving' their forces at Istanbul, if i recall correctly.

    Perhaps in its lopsided form, Drogheda are somehow paying tribute to the utter lack of salvation at the battle of the boyne.

    The star and crescent [on Drogheda town's civic crest] are the royal seal of King John, who gave the town its charter.
    Just as well you didn't pick the three lines!
