What can we expect to see on Coronation Day? This is your guide to all of the traditions that take place.Like every coronation since 1066, it will be held in Westminster Abbey and will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury – the Church of England's most senior cleric.Justin Welby, the Archbishop Of Canterbury arrives to deliver his Easter Sermon at Canterbury Cathedral, Apr. 17, 2022, in Canterbury, England.
This sacred moment was barred from the cameras. The queen was covered with a canopy so people couldn't see as the archbishop dabbed oil on her face, chest and hands. London pharmacy John Bell and Croyden holds the "recipe and a sample of the famous anointing oil used when a new sovereign is crowned," according to. It displays a replica of the bottle of oil in its London shop. The actual oil is under lock and key.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will slowly place the more than 400-year-old St Edward's Crown on the king's head. The St Edward's Crown weighs 4 pounds and 12 ounces and is made of solid gold. It is the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels. This is the only time the king will ever wear the St Edward's Crown.Universal History Archive/Getty Images
And where they are crowned also has symbolism, according to Bruce. "We crown them on a tumulus, an old Saxon and Teutonic tradition where you raise the new king on the burial chamber of a previous king. The tumulus in Westminster Abbey is made up of principally of Edward the Confessor's Tomb," he explained.The king is then expected to move from the coronation chair up some steps to the throne for the final part of the ceremony, which is the homage.
