Fix this textWESTMINSTER ABBEY—VIEW FROM THE HIGH ALTAR
Fix this textDURING the Coronation ceremony of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 11,
Fix this textthis view from the High Altar to the West door will long remain in the
Fix this textmemory of those who were present to witness the glittering and impressive
Fix this textscene. The priceless jewels in the Royal Regalia, the coronets and the rich
Fix this textrobes of the assembled company were reflected in the soft lights of the
Fix this textAbbey.
Fix this textFor centuries, Westminster Abbey was the storehouse of the Regalia—
Fix this textever since its foundation in 1042 until June 3rd, 1643, during the days of the
Fix this textLong Parliament who authorized the republican, Henry Marten, to force the
Fix this textdoors of the Abbey and take an inventory of the contents of the Treasury.
Fix this textAccordingly he entered the Abbey and forced open the great iron chest and
Fix this textremoved the crowns, the robes, the sword and sceptre belonging to Edward
Fix this textthe Confessor; he declared “that there would be no further use of these
Fix this texttoys and trifles.” They were, however, taken to the Tower of London, where,
Fix this textin 1649, by order of Parliament they were broken down and sold for the
Fix this textweight of the metal. . ..
Fix this textConsequently the absence of any Regalia delayed the Coronation ot
Fix this textCharles II for eleven months while new Royal emblems were being fashioned,
Fix this textthe cost of which amounted to £32,000. .
Fix this textSince the Restoration, the Regalia have remained heavily guarded ini the
Fix this textTower of London and on Coronation eve they are brought to the Abbey
Fix this textin State coaches with an escort of cavalry. On arrival at the Abbey they
Fix this textare set out in the Jerusalem Chamber, where they remain under the careipt
Fix this textthe Dean and Chapter, and guarded by Yeomen Warders from the lower of
Fix this textLondon until the following morning when, with impressive ceremony, they are
Fix this textdelivered by the Collegiate body to the Lord Great Chamberlain.
