Coronation of King George VI, robes, regalia and vestments
Four pictures showing the changes of Kings Coronation robes and vestments during the Coronation ceremony. On the left, the King arrives at Westminster Abbey in crimson velvet Robe of State and the Cap of Estate. After anointing he is invested with the Imperial Mantle of Cloth of Gold embroidered with golden eagles. He then receives the orb before handing it back and receiving the Sceptre with the Cross and the Sceptre with the Dove and being crowned with St. Edwards Crown. Finally, at the end of the ceremony, he withdraws to St. Edwards Chapel where he changes into a Royal Purple Robe of State and wears the Imperial State Crown for leaving the Abbey. Date: 1937
