Several coronation concerts were also organised. The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario initiated a six-part coronation concert series for long-term care homes from April to May. [200] Several places hosted concerts during the coronation weekend, including the Cathedral Church of St James in Toronto, Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria, and Knox-Metropolitan United Church in Regina.

There’s no denying that collages are a brilliant outlet for children to channel their inner creativity and be inspired to create a unique masterpiece. We’ve got three here for you, based on quintessential iconic British images.THE Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC) which supports blind and partially sighted children and their families is launching a nationwide Royal Art Competition in celebration of the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. The dress code for peers without a role in the ceremony was originally business suits or parliamentary robes, rather than the coronets, coronation robes, and court dress traditionally worn. [40] [21] This was changed in the week before the coronation after protests, with peers allowed to wear coronation robes but not coronets. [41] The general dress code for men was morning dress, a lounge suit or national dress. [42] Art [ edit ] Invitation to the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla In a break with tradition, Charles's coronation vestments (ceremonial clothes) were largely reused from previous coronations instead of being newly made. [33] [34] While it is customary for the supertunica and robe royal to be reused, Charles also wore vestments first used by George IV, George V, George VI, and Elizabeth II. Camilla similarly reused vestments, including Elizabeth II's robe of state, but also wore a new robe of estate featuring her cypher, bees, a beetle, and various plants and flowers. [34] She also wore a new coronation gown, created by Bruce Oldfield and embroidered with wildflowers, the United Kingdom's floral emblems, her cypher, a pair of dogs, and her grandchildren's names. [35] [36] Recognition [ edit ] The Coronation Chair, which housed the Stone of Scone, was used by Charles during the ceremony. For this coronation, the chair was fitted with a new seat cushion and armrests.
Arriving at Westminster Abbey before the service, her dress was protected by the crimson velvet and ermine Robe of State that was originally made for Queen Elizabeth’s coronation. The drawing, paintings and models were submitted by blind and partially sighted children and young people of all ages. The states of Guernsey planned events to celebrate the coronation from 5 to 8 May. A vigil was held on 5 May at Forest Methodist Church to reflect on the coronation's spiritual element. On 6 May, bells rang from Town Church, Vale, Forest, and St Pierre du Bois. A live broadcast of the coronation service was played on a large screen at the King George V Sports Ground (KGV), followed by a military parade from Fort George to the Model Yacht Pond. A 21-gun salute was fired at noon from Castle Cornet as part of the national salute. On 7 May, a Coronation Big Lunch was held at Saint Peter Port seafront, along with a service of thanksgiving at the Town Church. That evening the Coronation Concert was planned to be screened live at the KGV playing fields, and buildings including Castle Cornet and Fort Grey were illuminated in red, white, and blue in the evening. [171]And on Wednesday, the Palace conceded to its aristocratic critics, informing them that they would be able to wear their coronation robes after all. “A royal source confirmed there had been a change of heart,” reports the Telegraph. The casual revolution has touched nearly every part of public life, but ultimately, hierarchy would seem to have won out at an event that is, fittingly, all about the continuity of hierarchy. However you're celebrating King Charles' coronation, make sure you inject a bit of crafty joy into it with one of these gifts – or give the make to a friend who's particularly excited about our new king. Media outlets in Britain, Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand and the United States broadcast the coronation live. Several broadcasters in those countries provided coverage of the occasion throughout the coronation weekend. [238] [239] [240] [241] [242]
The Home Affairs Committee will hold an evidence session on the policing of the coronation and arrest of republican protesters on 17 May. [280] The Metropolitan Police and Lincolnshire Police also submitted a voluntary complaint referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct concerning the arrest of the Australian bystander on 17 May. [281] The Mayor of London has also demanded answers from the Metropolitan Police over the arrests. [282] Reparatory demands [ edit ] A ceremony was held at Sir Hubert Murray Stadium in Port Moresby on 6 May to commemorate Charles III's coronation as king of Papua New Guinea. The event was held simultaneously with the coronation ceremony in the United Kingdom. [229] The ceremony included a parade by members of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force, Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary, Papua New Guinea Fire Services, Papua New Guinea Correctional Services and St John Ambulance, a live screening of the coronation, and various speeches and live musical performances, and a fireworks finale. Keynote speeches by acting Governor-General Job Pomat and Prime Minister James Marape were also made at the ceremony. [230] [231] Solomon Islands [ edit ] Complete your wonderful display for 6th May 2023 with our other Coronation-themed display resources: Alternatively, if children want to colour in something they can keep, this King Charles III Royal Cypher Colouring Activity Poster is a good choice. Children can learn about what a cypher is before they get to colour it in, perhaps even writing a bit about it beforehand. This would be good to include as part of an afternoon lesson, as they can unwind with colouring in something they understand the significance of. It’s also an ideal activity to do at home with a loved one during the afternoon. Soon after, Camilla was also crowned. Like her husband, she was anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury – this time in full view of the audience – before having Queen Mary’s Crown placed on her head.Before William married Kate, there used to be very strict rules about whom a royal could marry. Particularly those in line to the throne. Royals used to have to marry members of other royal families or lords and ladies. A Canadian coronation emblem was created by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald of Arms, and registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority. It includes Charles III's royal cypher inside a ring of 13 triangular shapes, the number corresponding to Canada's provinces and territories. The circular arrangement symbolises inclusion and the Indigenous concept of equity and the natural world's cycles. The colour green is a reference to the King's commitment to the natural environment, while the white spaces may be viewed as a sunburst, symbolising innovation and new ideas. [181] Several public viewing spots of the procession were prepared. [90] Tens of thousands of people from the UK and the rest of the world were estimated to have lined the procession route. [91] Despite the forecast for rain, spectators started camping along the procession route days before the event. [92] On the morning of the event, authorities announced the procession route had reached capacity at 8:29. [93] Procession to the abbey [ edit ] The Diamond Jubilee State Coach carrying Charles and Camilla to Westminster Abbey Human Rights Watch described the arrests as alarming and something "you would expect to see in Moscow not London". [277] On 8 May the Metropolitan Police apologised to six of the arrested protesters, including Smith, after a review found no proof that the protesters in question were going to engage in unlawful behaviour. The Metropolitan Police expressed "regret" over the arrest of Smith and the five other protesters. [278] Smith indicated that he would not be willing to accept the apology, and that he would be considering legal action. [266] The City of Westminster Council have requested an apology from the police for the arrest of the night voluntary workers. [279] A public holiday was declared on 8 May in Guernsey, the Isle of Man, and Jersey. [166] [167] [168] As in the United Kingdom, Big Help Outs were also organised in all three Crown Dependencies on the day of the holiday. [95] [169] [170]
The next part of the service concerned Camilla. She was anointed in public view, thought to be the first time this has occurred, and then presented with the Queen Consort's Ring. [98] [116] The Queen then was crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury using Queen Mary's Crown. [98] Camilla then was presented with the Queen Consort's Sceptre with Cross and the Queen Consort's Rod with Dove (which, unlike other queens consort, she chose not to carry), before sitting on her own throne (originally made for Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in 1937) beside the King. [98] [104] [109]Unsurprisingly, it was a British designer, Bruce Oldfield, who she has a longstanding relationship with.
