The | takes the form of three questions Complex Liturgical Ritual Contains Three Elements Sacramental, Investiture and Coronation Is Followed by Paying Homage The liturgical ritual to be exceedingly complex. followed at the Coronation is After the preliminary and exceedingly solemn Oath in which much of our history is enshrined, the service contains three main elements. The first is the expressly sacramental part which opens with the words of the service for Holy Communion and reaches its liturgical climax with the anointing of the Queen. The second sequence is the stage by stage investiture of the Sovereign in all the trappings and at- tributes of monarchy. The climax of this is reached with the actual Coronation and the mounting of the throne. The third jstage is the paying of homage to the Queen by the orders of the peerage and her acclamation in the shouts of the people. We shall trace in detail the ex-| 'act course of the service, from the moment when the Queen, support- ed by her husband, enters the west door of the Abbey. The Archbishop, and the Bishop assisting him, vested in their capes, will form a procession just outside the West door and wait for the ar- rival of the Queen. The procession advances down the aisle greeted by an anthem sung by Westminster choir, The Queen will pass through the choir of the Abbey past the throne, and turn to the Chair of Estate placed to the right of the altar, After her private devotions the Queen will take her place on the Chair of Estate. The Archbishop then, symbolic- ally, passes to the four corners of the Church to introduce the Queen to her assembled people. The Arch- bishop is accompanied on his brief itinerary by the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Lord High Constable, and the Earl Marshal preceded by the Garter Herald. The Archbishop turns to the east, then the south, west, and finally the north, And at each point he says: "Sirs, I here present unto you Queen Elizabeth your undoubted] Queen: Wherefore all you who are come this day to acclamations from the form of ueen Elizabeth".

Promise To People The first promise is to govern all' her peoples "according to their | respective laws and customs". This is the cardinal constitutional con- tract on which British kingship has een based since the time of St. .dward the Confessor. The third art of the Oath concerns the stablishment of the Church of ngland and the Settlement after do your homage Q! and service, Are you willing to do | the same?" |Q put in her hand by the Archbishop, who will at the same time pro- nounce g Blessing that contains a reminder that "the whole world is subject to the power and Empire of Christ". The keeper of the Jewel House, (who is Constable of the Tower of London) then comes forward with the Ring. The Archbishop blesses the Ring and places it on the Queen's fourth f r of her right hand. Then the sceptre will be laced in the Queen's right hand. he sceptre surmounted by the dove is placed in the left hand-- and is referred to as the Rod of Equity and Mercy. The Archbishop will then tufh to Edward's Crown, which is on the altar; he utters a short praye! during which, at the reference to her Royal heart, the Queen will bow her head. Then the solemn moment ap- proaches. The Archbishop, accom- panied by his assisting Bishops, will come from the altar. The Dean of Westminster will bring the Crown and the Archbishop will reverently and gently place it on the Queen's head, At this point in the ancient ritu- als it is said "at the sight whereof the people with loud and repeated shouts shall cry: GOD SAVE THE This is the moment when the ueen has truly been crowned The peers and the Kings of Arm (that is the heraldic leaders of th Kingdoms,) put on their coronets And at this instant the guns of the Tower will be fired in salute, Once again the Coronation ser- vice changes note. The Queen is now crowned and in all her Re- alia, sitting on the throne of King dward. And the service returns to the pattern of the Holy Commun- ion. The Dean of Westminster, pro- ffers to the Queen a Bible, refer- ring to it as '"the most valuable thing that the world affords." The Archbishop then blesses the Sovereign; and afterwards the Queen will make her way, support- ed by her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, towards her Throne, She will be helred to it by the Archbishop, Bishop and 'other Peers. Then the Great Officers of State will stand around the Throne and the Archbishop shall address her in a famous acclamation that begins: "Stand firm, and hold from henceforth and for evermore, the seat and state of Royal dignity, Which is this day delivered unto The Homage is then performed.
