Screenshot attached and should be viewable here as well http://www.liamfreke.net/screenshots/clipping_6646.png

It's intended as a mark of respect, like a black armband.

Comes from the tradition of placing a Black ribbon across the corner of a photograph to show the subject is deceased.

And if a Flag cannot be lowered to half mast, (which I guess our banner is), a black ribbon is attached.

Maybe fallen isn't the right word ?
