Product Information

A string of famous faces have begun to arrive at the royal church, which held the previous UK coronation for Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953. Here are all the key timings of this historic day.

Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on 2 June, 1953 in Westminster Abbey. Her Majesty was the thirty-ninth Sovereign to be crowned at Westminster Abbey. During the recognition, the King stands in the coronation theatre and turns to show himself to the people at each of the four directions – east, south, west and north. The incumbent Earl Marshal is responsible for organising the Coronation. Since 1386 the position has been undertaken by The Duke of Norfolk. The 16th Duke of Norfolk was responsible for The Queen's Coronation in 1953 and he was also responsible for the State funeral of Sir Winston Churchill (1965) and the investiture of The Prince of Wales (1969). The Prince of Wales steps forward to help dress the King in the golden brocaded cloak, the imperial mantle – or robe royal. Last year, millions of people took to the streets across the UK to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, with tables, chairs and rows of bunting lining many streets across Teesside and beyond. The Government has release guidance on how to organise your own street party.The King puts on the stole royal – a long, narrow embroidered band of gold silk which goes around the shoulders, mirroring outfits worn by a priest or a bishop.

According to The Mirror, Asda is offering workers an extra paid day off to mark the Coronation of King Charles, if they are taking part in The Big Help Out volunteering event; a national scheme encouraging the public to get out in their communities and take part in a variety of different voluntary events. Will transport be affected? On Sunday, May 7, a special Coronation Concert will be staged and broadcast live at Windsor Castle by the BBC and on Monday, May 8, members of the public will be invited to take part in The Big Help Out, which will encourage people to try volunteering and join the work being undertaken to support their local areas.approx – The crowning takes place. We will see the King crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury with St Edward's Crown. A fanfare sounds. The Abbey bells ring for two minutes and a gun salute is fired by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery stationed at Horse Guards Parade. The Coronation service fell into six parts: the recognition, the oath, the anointing, the investiture (which includes the crowning), the enthronement and the homage.
