  • Westminster Abbey ASERVICE to CELEBRATE the 60TH ANNIVERSARY of the CORONATION of HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
    Westminster Abbey ASERVICE TO CELEBRATE THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II Tuesday 4th June 2013 at 11.00 am FOREWORD On 2nd June 1953, the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II followed a pattern established over the centuries since William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. Our intention in this Service of Thanksgiving is to evoke and reflect the shape of the Coronation service itself. The Queen’s entrance was marked by the Choirs’ singing Psalm 122—I was glad—set to music for the Coronation of EdwardVII by Sir Hubert Parry. The Queen’s Scholars of Westminster School exercised their historic right to exclaim Vivat Regina Elizabetha! (‘Long live Queen Elizabeth!’); so it will be today. The coronation service begins with the Recognition. The content of this part of the service is, of course, not today what it was in 1953, but the intention is similar: to recognise with thanksgiving the dutiful service offered over the past sixty years by our gracious and noble Queen, and to continue to pray God saveThe Queen. The Anointing is an act of consecration, a setting apart for royal and priestly service, through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Ampulla from which the oil was poured rests today on the HighAltar as a reminder of that central act. St Edward’s Crown also rests today on the High Altar as a powerful symbol of the moment of Coronation. In today’s Service, a flask of Oil is carried by representatives of the people of the United Kingdom to the Sacrarium, received by theArchbishop and placed by the Dean on the High Altar.

  • The Origins of the Crown
    proceedings of the British Academy, 89, 171-214 The Origins of the Crown GEORGE GARNETT SECRETEDAWAY IN THE MIDST OF his posthumously published lectures on English constitutional history is one of those thought-provoking observations by Maitland which have lain largely undisturbed for ninety years: There is one term against which I wish to warn you, and that term is ‘the crown’. You will certainly read that the crown does this and the crown does that. As a matter of fact we know that the crown does nothing but lie in the Tower of London to be gazed at by sight-seers. No, the crown is a convenient cover for ignorance: it saves us from asking difficult questions.. Partly under the influence of his reading of German scholars, most notably Gierke, Maitland had begun to address questions of this nature in a series of essays on corporate personality, and in a few luminous, tantalizing pages in the History of English Law? Plucknett conceded that the issues raised by these questions, which he characterized as metaphysical, formed the foundations of legal history, but added, severely, that ‘prolonged contemplation of them may warp the judge- ment.’ Not, of course, that Maitland had been found wanting: Plucknett thought him acutely aware of the potential dangers of abstraction. But less well-seasoned timbers would scarcely bear up under the strain? Plucknett need not have worried. The judgements of Enghsh his- 0 neBritish Academy 1996 Maitland, Constitutional History, p. 418; cf. Pollock and Maitland, i 525: ‘that “metaphor kept in the Tower,” as Tom Paine called it’; E W.

Such a book should be as mxich historical as descriptive. For Edinburgh is not less richly endowed with memories than with beauty ; and its present can be read only in the light of its past. At no time have the builder and improver—those scene-shifters in the drama of modern town life—been busier in sweeping romance, along with stone and lime, into the dust-bin ; and every year familiar features of the streets and closes are drafted from the list of the city's sights into that of the city's memories. The opening of the new North Bridge offers a natural starting-point for the survey and retrospect ; it promises—or threatens—to bring in its train changes almost as great as those that make the construction of the first bridge across the valley between Old and New Edinburg an era in the history of " mine own romantic town." For the illustrations of the volume thanks are due to Mr.

  • A Contextual Study of the Modernization of the British Royal Family As Represented by the Film the Queen
    Intercultural Communication Studies XVIII: 1 2009 Tongyun The Queen and the Country: A Contextual Study of the Modernization of the British Royal Family as Represented by the Film The Queen Shi Tongyun, Beijing Foreign Studies University Since the 1990s, the British monarchy has responded to the public culture of democratic politics with paying income tax, publicizing expenditure accounts and getting closer to the people. Meanwhile, the media age has led to the commodification of the monarchy, enforcing more openness from the latter and consolidating the monarchy’s status as a cultural form of images and representation. The monarchy lost the media war to Princess Diana on her death in 1997, suffering public blame for aloofness and succumbing to public mourning. This paper analyzes the role of the media, the New Labor politics and the public in facilitating modernization toward a more intimate royalty as represented by The Queen, an Oscar-winning film made in 2006 about the political event of Princess Diana’s death in 1997. This paper not only deals with the film itself, but also looks into the broader media and political context of the historical event reflected in the film. It argues that the film displays two themes: in confirming the media power, the film conveys that royal popularity depends on the media for its projection; and in exploring the conflict between the emotional public and the stoical monarchy, the film cheers the Queen’s compromise for continuity and encourages the audience to understand the royal identity. Monarchy is the oldest institution of government in the United Kingdom.
