The city walls were completed in 1619, it was the last walled city to be built in Europe the walls are entirely intact (the only city on the island of Ireland to hold this distinction). The walls withstood several sieges, including the Siege of Derry in 1689. As the walls were never breached the city gained its nickname as "the maiden city".

THE CONCESSION - SEPTEMBER 20, 1969
That is Tony Jacklin's recollection of what the great Jack Nicklaus said to him after conceding a two-foot putt that led to the first tie in Ryder Cup history. Nicklaus' concession is now widely regarded as one of the greatest acts of sportsmanship ever seen in golf or anywhere else and many, including Jacklin, believe it set a tone for the event that lasts to this day. It represents the best of the Ryder Cup. Inspired by the historic 1969 Concession, the award honors two icons in the game and recognizes the player who best represents the spirit of the Ryder Cup – who sees the bigger picture and makes better decisions both on and off the course.

The first Ryder Cup tie, in 1969 at Royal Birkdale, came about when American Jack Nicklaus made what has become the most famous concession in the history of the game. Nicklaus holed a five-foot putt and then picked up Tony Jacklin's ball marker, which was three feet from the hole. It meant their match and the overall score ended in a tie. Jacklin recalled that Nicklaus said to him: "I don't believe you would have missed that, but I'd never give you the opportunity in these circumstances." It was an act of sportsmanship that has spawned the Nicklaus-Jacklin award, which will be presented on Sunday to the player who best represents the spirit of the Ryder Cup.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/66930722
The present day colours of dark green (RGB - R0 G102 B51) and purple (R84 G0 B139) are the traditional Wimbledon colours and were first introduced in 1909 after it was found that the previous colours of blue, yellow, red and green were virtually the same colours of the Royal Marines.

Competitors must be dressed almost entirely white , but not off-white or cream . A single trim of colour around the neckline and around the cuff of the sleeves is acceptable but must be no wider than one centimetre. Shoes must be almost entirely white. Soles and laces must be completely white. Undergarments that either are or can be visible during play must also be completely white except for a single trim of colour no wider than one centimetre (10mm), except female players who are allowed to wear solid, mid/dark-coloured undershorts provided they are no longer than their shorts or skirt.
However, all tennis players participating in the tournament are required to wear all-white or at least almost all-white clothing, a long-time tradition at Wimbledon.[1][a] Wearing white clothing with some colour accents is also acceptable, provided the colour scheme is not that of an identifiable commercial brand logo (the outfitter's brand logo being the sole exception). Controversy followed Martina Navratilova's wearing branding for "Kim" cigarettes in 1982. Green clothing was worn by the chair umpire, linesmen, ball boys and ball girls until the 2005 Championships; however, beginning with the 2006 Championships, officials, ball boys and ball girls were dressed in new navy blue- and cream-coloured uniforms from American designer Ralph Lauren.
