Coronation Of British king

 

The coronation of a British king is a ceremony that marks the formal installation of a new monarch and their ascension to the throne. It typically takes place in Westminster Abbey in London, and is a highly symbolic and ritualistic event that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.

The coronation ceremony involves a number of key elements, including the anointing of the new king with holy oil, the presentation of various ceremonial objects such as the royal sceptre and the royal orb, and the crowning of the new monarch with the St Edward's Crown.

The coronation also includes various religious and secular aspects, including prayers, hymns, and oaths of allegiance from various members of the royal household and government officials.

The last coronation of a British king was that of Queen Elizabeth II's father, King George VI, in 1937. Queen Elizabeth II herself was crowned in 1953. However, since then, the tradition of coronation has not been followed, as the queen's heirs are now sworn in through a simpler ceremony known as the Accession Council. It remains to be seen whether this tradition will continue for future monarchs.
