In discovering its full meaning, remember that behind the things that are seen and which will pass away are the things that are unseen and eternal. The Coronation is sometimes called ‘the Hallowing’ – a word which means to make holy or to consecrate. The Sovereign’s office is both sacred and civil and so the Coronation is an act of dedication and consecration. Coronation is the placing of a crown on the head of a new monarch and has its origin in Saxon times. The anointing is said to be the real pivot of the whole coronation of which the Crowning is the culmination. In the 937 years since 1066, when William the Conqueror was crowned, until today there have only been 37 coronations in England. Queen Elizabeth II is the 38 th English Sovereign to be crowned in Westminster Abbey. King Egbert of Wessex, in 838, was the first monarch to be consecrated by an Archbishop. From this time onwards all monarchs were consecrated by the Church as represented by the Archbishop. The Coronation service has changed little since the coronation of King Edgar in 973. It has four parts; Recognition, the Oath, the Investiture and the Homage. The pagan rites of initiation were transformed by anointing and the oath , requiring the monarch to maintain the Christian faith and govern justly. It is far less a spectacle than a profound religious rite of dedication to service. The Queen Queen Elizabeth II was born her royal highness, Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary on 21 st April 1926, just eight years after the end of World War 1. Elizabeth is King George V’s granddaughter. He died on 20 th January, 1936. Her uncle Edward VIII was next in line to the throne, but he abdicated later that year, on 11 th December, to marry Wallis Simpson, a divorcee. Elizabeth’s father became King George VI and was crowned in 1937. In 1947 Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip, Philip Mountbatten, Prince of Greece, in Westminster Abbey. Prince Charles was born in 1948 and Princess Anne in1950. In September 1951 the king was found to have cancer. George VI died on February 6 th 1952. Although at the instant of her father’s death, Princess Elizabeth became Queen, it took another fifteen months to arrange the actual Coronation. The Queen is the servant of the people. One of her titles is Defender of the Faith. “ For me,” said the Queen, “the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life.” (Queen and Country BBC1 08.05.02) She was crowned as Queen of Great Britain, states of Canada and Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and nearly 50 other lands.

After George VI died she became known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Westminster Abbey The Coronation was held at 11.00am on Tuesday 2 nd June 1953 in The Abbey Church of Westminster, commonly known as Westminster Abbey. The English coronation ceremony, which dates back to the 8 th Century, has taken place here for the past 900 years, with the exception of the coronations of Edward V and Edward VIII. The Abbey was founded by Edward the Confessor in 1050 and much of the Coronation regalia bears his name. Before then, there was no fixed location for Coronations. Several monarchs were crowned at Kingston-upon-Thames. William the Conqueror was known to have been crowned in the Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. English replaced Latin as the main language in the coronation following Elizabeth I and from 1689 onwards the coronation service has been set within a service of Holy Communion. In 1296 Edward I captured the Stone of Scone and brought it to the Abbey. On this Scottish kings are said to have been crowned for centuries. It was restored to Scotland in 1996. The Queen’s coronation in 1953 was the first televised Coronation service. Historical and Social Imagine what it was like in 1953 when the Queen was crowned: Butter and sugar had been rationed in 1940 and Britain was celebrating the end of sweet rationing. T.V. commonly had a 9 inch screen and was a novelty. Many listened to the Coronation on a big brown Bakelite Philips wireless / radiogram. Vinyl furniture was new and only rich households had both a washing machine and fridge. 1948 saw the setting up of the National Health Service. In 1951, the Festival of Britain took place on the South Bank of the Thames and was visited by an estimated eight million people. Queen Mary, widow of George V, dies, aged 85. April 25 th , discovery of DNA. Everest, at 29,028 feet, was conquered by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing Norkay from Nepal on 29 th May 1953 – Colonel John Hunt’s expedition. The Ford Popular on the road taxed, cost £390. May 6th 1954 Roger Bannister becomes first man to break the four minute mile. In July 1954 Boeing 707 made its maiden flight. In the six months before the Coronation, 4,000 people died from smog pollution and there was flooding in Essex and Kent. A new robe trimmed with ermine would cost more than £300. To record As part of HOPE’s Diamond Jubilee Resources. www.hopetogether.org.uk page 6 events, 30 Pathe news camera men were employed. The largest zoom and telephoto lense costing more than a £1000 was used. Coronation Day The Queen’s Coronation took fifteen months to prepare, but there was still much done on the actual day, for example the holy oil for anointing was prepared on Coronation morning and placed in the Abbey in readiness. The seven thousand invited guests plus musicians, choir and all those taking part had to be in their places by 7am even though the service did not begin until 11am. Television cameras were present for the first time and an estimated 25 million saw the monarch crowned on black and white television. Peers of the realm sat on raised tiered seats in the transept, which were especially constructed for the event. Each peer had a coronet which rested on a cushion of velvet, gold tassled ermine. During the long wait these coronets came in useful for keeping sandwiches in, as the court dress did not have pockets!! Also carefully concealed in the Abbey were toilets! Peeresses sat in the north transept. The route to the Abbey taken by the Queen and Prince Philip in the gold State Coach was from Buckingham Palace, along The Mall, through Admiralty Arch, along Northumberland Ave, along the Victoria Embankment, past the Houses of Parliament and in to Westminster Abbey.

  • There and Back Again: Mobilising Tourist Imaginaries at the Tower Of
    There and Back Again: Mobilising Tourist Imaginaries at the Tower of London Matthew Hughes Ansell 2014 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MA in Cultural Heritage Studies of University College London in 2017 UCL INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY ‘Those responsible for the brochure had darkly intuited how easily their readers might be turned into prey by photographs whose power insulted the intelligence and contravened any notions of free will: over-exposed photographs of palm trees, clear skies, and white beaches. Readers who would have been capable of skepticism and prudence in other areas of their lives reverted in contact with these elements to a primordial innocence and optimism. The longing provoked by the brochure was an example, at once touching and bathetic, of how projects (and even whole lies) might be influenced by the simplest and most unexamined images of happiness; of how a lengthy and ruinously expensive journey might be set into motion by nothing more than the sight of a photograph of a palm tree gently inclining in a tropical breeze’ (de Botton 2002, 9). 2 Abstract Tourist sites are amalgams of competing and complimentary narratives that dialectically circulate and imbue places with meaning. Widely held tourism narratives, known as tourist imaginaries, are manifestations of ‘shared mental life’ (Leite 2014, 268) by tourists, would-be tourists, and not-yet tourists prior to, during, and after the tourism experience. This dissertation investigates those specific pre-tour understandings that inform tourists’ expectations and understandings of place prior to visiting. Looking specifically at the Tower of London, I employ content and discourse analysis alongside ethnographic field methods to identify the predominant tourist imaginaries of the Tower of London, trace their circulation and reproduction, and ultimately discuss their impact on visitor experience at the Tower.

  • Stone of Destiny a 'Fake to Dupe Invading English' Abbot of Scone Hid Real Stone from Edward I, Says Salmond
    Printer Friendly http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/scotland/article4144587.ece?pr... From The Times June 15, 2008 Stone of Destiny a 'fake to dupe invading English' Abbot of Scone hid real stone from Edward I, says Salmond David Lister, Scotland Correspondent Do you think the Stone should be sent to England? Vote here For centuries it has held a mystical place in Scottish history, but Alex Salmond sparked fresh debate about the Stone of Destiny yesterday by claiming that the version on display at Edinburgh Castle is a fake. The stone, said to have been used in the coronation of early Scottish monarchs and in Biblical times by Jacob as a pillow, is one of the earliest symbols of Scottish nationhood and has been an emblem of strained relations with England ever since it was stolen by Edward I in 1296. But the First Minister has claimed that the block of red sandstone held until 1996 at Westminster Abbey, and now on permanent display in Edinburgh, was almost certainly not the original coronation stone. He said that monks at Scone Abbey had probably duped the English into believing that they had stolen the stone when in fact they took a replica. “If you're the Abbot of Scone and the strongest and most ruthless king in Christendom is charging toward you in 1296 to steal Scotland's most sacred object and probably put you and half of your cohorts to death, do you do nothing and wait until he arrives or do you hide yourself and the stone somewhere convenient in the Perthshire hillside? I think the second myself,” Mr Salmond said.

  • Crowned with Authority Because of His Grace We Have Been Given Authority to Defeat Satan and Advance the Kingdom of God!
    Crowned with Authority Because of His grace we have been given authority to defeat satan and advance the kingdom of God! British Monarchy: Kingdom: United Kingdom & 16 Commonwealth states (Australia, Canada, Jamaica, Saint Lucia etc.) Ceremony - Coronation: is the act of placement or bestowal of a crown upon a monarch's head. The coronation usually takes place several months after the death of the previous monarch, as it is considered a joyous occasion that would be inappropriate while mourning continues. The Imperial State Crown: is one of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and symbolizes the sovereignty of the monarch. - Heavy Weight: The Imperial State Crown is 12.4 inches tall and weighs 2.3 lbs (heavy). Queen of England advised that she has to hold her head up when wearing it because if not if feels like you would break your neck. Its purple velvet cap is trimmed with ermine. The frame is made of gold, silver and platinum, and decorated with 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 5 rubies. - Great Value (Glory): Usually, the crown is taken to the Palace of Westminster under armed guard in its own carriage and placed in the Robing Room, where the Queen puts on her robes and puts on the crown before giving her speech to Parliament. We may never sit on the thrown in England, but we are crowned and sit from a place of authority! We are citizens of a Heavenly Kingdom Philippians 3:20 New American Standard Bible 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; - You get the rights of where you live 1 Peter 2:9 The Passion Translation 9 But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones.

  • “We Wanted a Parliament but They Gave Us a Stone” the Coronation Stone of the Scots As a Memory Box in the Twentieth Century
    “We wanted a parliament but they gave us a stone” The Coronation Stone of the Scots as a Memory Box in the Twentieth Century JÖRG ROGGE In this article a memory box is presented, in which and to which different meanings were contained and attached in the course of seven centuries.1 This memory box is the coronation stone of Scottish kings, nowadays on display in Edinburgh Castle, the external form of which has remained for the most part unchanged. The roughly 150 kg heavy, 67 cm long, 42 cm wide and 28 cm high sandstone block was used in the Middle Ages at the inauguration of Scottish kings.2 In the course of history, however, it was removed from its original functional context and transferred to other cultural and political contexts. In this connection, both diachronic and also synchronic transfers of the coronation stone and the concepts of political order in the island of Britain stored in it were carried out. At present it is still an important memory box filled with political concepts, and it was and is a starting point for research into the relationship between the Scots and the English over the past 700 years. It is remarkable that this stone was used by nationally emotional Scots and also by the Government in London as symbol in important debates in the twentieth century. Historical recollections are transported by the Scots and the English with the stone that one may certainly call a container of memory. Here I 1 My thanks go to John Deasy for translating the German text into English as well as to the editors for finishing the final formatting.

  • From Charlemagne to Hitler: the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and Its Symbolism
    From Charlemagne to Hitler: The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and its Symbolism Dagmar Paulus (University College London) [email protected] 2 The fabled Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a striking visual image of political power whose symbolism influenced political discourse in the German-speaking lands over centuries. Together with other artefacts such as the Holy Lance or the Imperial Orb and Sword, the crown was part of the so-called Imperial Regalia, a collection of sacred objects that connotated royal authority and which were used at the coronations of kings and emperors during the Middle Ages and beyond. But even after the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the crown remained a powerful political symbol. In Germany, it was seen as the very embodiment of the Reichsidee, the concept or notion of the German Empire, which shaped the political landscape of Germany right up to National Socialism. In this paper, I will first present the crown itself as well as the political and religious connotations it carries. I will then move on to demonstrate how its symbolism was appropriated during the Second German Empire from 1871 onwards, and later by the Nazis in the so-called Third Reich, in order to legitimise political authority. I The crown, as part of the Regalia, had a symbolic and representational function that can be difficult for us to imagine today. On the one hand, it stood of course for royal authority. During coronations, the Regalia marked and established the transfer of authority from one ruler to his successor, ensuring continuity amidst the change that took place.

  • The King, the Crown and the Colonel: How Did Thomas Blood Try to Steal the Crown Jewels in 1671?
    Education Service The king, the crown and the colonel: How did Thomas Blood try to steal the crown jewels in 1671? This resource was produced using documents from the collections of The National Archives. It can be freely modified and reproduced for use in the classroom only. The king, the crown and the colonel : How did Thomas Blood try to steal the crown jewels in 1671? 2 Introduction After the execution of Charles I in 1649 many of the crown jewels were sold or destroyed. Oliver Cromwell ordered that the orb and sceptres should be broken as they stood for the 'detestable rule of kings'. All the gemstones were removed and sold and the precious metal was used to make coins. When the monarchy was restored in 1660, two new sceptres and an orb costing £12,185 were made for the coronation of Charles II in 1661. Can you spot any of these items in the picture at the top of this page? During the ceremony, the new king held the Sceptre with the Cross in his right hand and the Sceptre with the Dove in his left. The sceptre was a rod or staff which represents royal power and the dove refers to the Holy Spirit. The king was crowned with St Edward's Crown. At some point the king also held the orb, a hollow golden sphere decorated with a band of jewels and a jewelled cross on top. The orb refers to the king’s role as protector of the church. Charles II allowed the crown jewels to be shown to members of the public for a viewing fee paid to a custodian (keeper) who looked after the jewels in the Martin Tower at the Tower of London.
