Product Information

Monday, which will be a bank holiday, has been set aside for volunteering and is being billed as "the big help out". As the Sovereign’s Company Colour is there at the very end of a reign, so it is at the outset; a physical representation of the Monarch’s deep connection with their principal Regiment of Guards, and a connection which runs deeper still with their own Company within it – a constant in the Guards’ direct service to the Crown.

This Supertunica was made in 1911 for the Coronation of King George V by Wilkinson and Son, Robe-makers and Tailors. The Supertunica has subsequently also been worn by King George VI at his Coronation in 1937 and by Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The King’s Company presence in Westminster Abbey is built around this King’s Company Colour, Royal Standard of the Regiment, marking the Sovereign’s authority and their Company’s constant presence alongside them. "My Grenadiers" This lost medieval crown was said to have belonged to the 11th-century royal saint, King Edward the Confessor. As a female in the Royal Navy I feel really privileged to have taken part. The Army and RAF didn’t have any females represented in the Guard, only in their Bands. We were the only Service to have females in the Guard. It’s given us a taster of next weekend as well as I didn’t really know what to expect.” The anointing: The King's ceremonial robe is removed and he sits in the Coronation Chair. A gold cloth is held over the chair to conceal the King from view. The Archbishop of Canterbury anoints the King's hands, breast and head with holy oil made according to a secret recipe, but known to contain ambergris, orange flowers, roses, jasmine and cinnamon. The oil created for Charles will not contain any ingredients derived from animalsThroughout centuries of distinguished service, to this nation and to the Crown, your predecessors – and now you yourselves – have defended these and other shores.

Your loyalty and devotion to the Service you represent and to your Colours are the hallmark of the gallantry and selflessness you display on our behalf.

During the Coronation Service, the Sword Belt is placed around the Supertunica. The Jewelled Sword of Offering is then 'girded' or fastened at the Sovereign's waist using the Sword Belt. The Archbishop presents the Sword to the Monarch while saying that it should be used for the protection of good and the punishment of evil. The Sword is then removed and placed on the altar in the Abbey, before the Sovereign is invested with the Imperial Mantle. The Sovereign’s Company (The King’s Company) Grenadier Guards have been on duty in the Abbey for every coronation since Charles II was crowned, following the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660. London's Westminster Abbey has played host to royal coronations for the past 900 years. Westminster Abbey has been Britain's coronation church since 1066 and has witnessed 38 coronation ceremonies for reigning monarchs. The first documented coronation at Westminster was that of William the Conqueror on 25th December 1066. While the hymn, ‘Praise, my soul, the King of heaven’ is sung by the congregation, Their Majesties will enter the Shrine of St Edward the Confessor before the conclusion of the Service. The choir will sing an Anthem by William Boyce, composed for the Coronation of King George III in 1761, and the Te Deum, written for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.From the King's favourite flowers to a look at what featured in Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation bouquet, here's everything we know so far...
