In separ- ate procesions preceding them will be Empire and ioreign representa- tives. nrinces and princesses oi the blood myﬂL

Early one morning, to attract as little attention as possible, it was taken to an old firm of coach- btiilders In Chelsea for re-giiding and renovation Although built 176 years ago for Queen Anne it in still in good running order. Very heavy, it is generally drawn at walking pace by eight horses.

Along the route will be an estimated 2,000.01» spectators, pv- ing London police one o! the worst trai-fic and transportation prob- lems they have ever laced. Steel crush barriers will be erected and hundreds of extra mounted police will be on duty.

The King will enter the Abbey ivcaring a crimson velvet robe and a cap oi state. TheQueen will be attired in purple robes and a cir- clc-t oi_ gold. The lengthy corona- tion ceremony is expected in start about ll n.m. when the royal couple advances to the “coronation theatre". a raised platform in front. of the high altar. and kneels on faldstoois set before the chairs of state on the right of the altar. Alter various rituals the Arch- bishop of Cantr-rbuly administers the Comnation Oath to the King who kneels at lhc altar with his ltzmtl on the Bible.

After the anointing under the silken pail the King is girdled with the sword of state in a purple vel- vet sctibbarzl. He removes it, ai- ter a prayer has been said. and carries it to the altar. It is re- culried naked before the monarch during the rest of the ceremony.

.' “Royal Peculiar”

ION ial functions fall to the Dean oi’ Westminster at the Coronation service on May l2. The Deanery oi’ Westminster is what is known as a "Royal Pe- culiar”, meaning that the Dean is rmaonsible to the King alone, and does not acknowedge juris- diction oi' any Bishop over him- self or -.the other clergy of West- minster Abbey.

For 10 years following the dis- solution oi the monasteries. West- minster Abbey was the "cathedral" o! a Bishop of Westminster but Queen Elizabeth finally placed it under an independent Dean and Chapter, whose successors rtlle to- day. The endowments, incidental- ly, m this bishoprlc were diverted to 5t. Paul's CalhedraL-hcnce the old saying “robbing Peter to pity Paul."

Following the anointing and the presentation to the King o!’ various pieces o! the regalia it will be the Dean's duty to vest the King with the Armill and Royal Robe. "Armill" really means l bracelet, an ornament which has been specially associated with mon- archs from time immemorial. King Saul was wearing one when he was slain in bottle.

Nowadays "Armlll is a kind oi stole. The royal robe corresponds to a chnsuble or cope, and is orna- mented with golden eagles sym- bollcal oi the sovereigns Imperial authority.

It is the Dean's duty also to bear the crown when the Arch- bishop oi’ Canterbury moves from the High Altar to King George's Chair, where the Archbishop “rcverently puts it. upon the King's head."
