The King and Queen were presented with an official account of the Coronation, printed on vegan paper for the first time since the tradition began in 1308. #king #royal #cornoation The royal couple were shown the “extraordinary” 21-metre Coronation Roll at Buckingham Palace ahead of the first anniversary of their May 6 crowning. It contains information about the planning of the Coronation and a full description of the ceremony, including those involved, the music, the layout of Westminster Abbey and the flowers. It also provides, for the first time, an account of the anointing that took place behind a screen. The practice of creating a handwritten record of coronations dates back to Edward II in 1308 but this one includes notable differences to those of old.
