This was the ceremonial adopted at the coronation of George IV., which was the most magnificent ever celebrated in England. It includes a greater number of persons and officers than are represented in the accompanying engravings, which are, however, sufficiently extensive to show the general arrangement of the procession.

In the space marked by asterisks, when a queen consort is to be crowned, the following procession should be introduced.

The Procession advances over a railed platform, covered with blue cloth, extending from the Hall to the church; as the various ranks enter, they repair to their respective places, except the dean and prebendaries, who wait to receive the sovereign near the entrance. When the members of the choir come in, a part go to their proper seats, but the rest remain with the dean, and sing the anthem,-"I was glad when they said unto me, We will go up unto the house of the Lord." While this is being sung, the sovereign is conducted by the dean and prebendaries to the chair of state, in the upper end of the chancel, a part usually called the theatre. The canopies are left at the entrance of the choir, in which the gentlemen at arms halt. The archbishops, officiating bishops, the dean of Westminster, and the great officers of state, who have the custody of the Regalia, alone ascend to the theatre; and they remain standing while the sovereign is seated. A short interval is usually allowed for the sovereign to rest before the business of the day is commenced, and, during this period, care is taken to marshal all who have taken a part in the Procession into their proper places.
