It has been a year since the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Much has been written about the Coronation Roll, the official record of the Monarch’s Accession and Coronation and it is now online for the first time here.
The Roll contains details of The King’s accession, the planning of the Coronation, and a detailed description of the ceremony. Rolls include the monarch’s oath to govern according to the customs and laws of the realm and detail the ceremonial of the coronation - the prayers, the service, the blessings, the order of service, and official guests. For centuries the roll has been authored by the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery.
The Coronation Roll is 21-metres long, which is about two-and-a-half times as long as a London bus and contains 11,600 words and makes for very interesting reading.
I had not heard of the Coronation Roll! I love learning new things about the Royal Family!
ReplyDeleteThe past year has flown over! It came up on my Facebook memories about me watching the Coronation. I had a quick look at the The Coronation Roll, it does look very interesting.
ReplyDeleteOne short year, and a hard one for the monarchy. Hope the next year brings good things for them.
ReplyDeleteThat's all very interesting Pamela, thanks for sharing.
