The communion service was then conducted, involving prayers by both the clergy and Elizabeth, Fisher asking, "O God... Grant unto this thy servant Elizabeth, our Queen, the spirit of wisdom and government, that being devoted unto thee with her whole heart, she may so wisely govern, that in her time thy Church may be in safety, and Christian devotion may continue in peace", before reading various excerpts from the First Epistle of Peter, Psalms, and the Gospel of Matthew. [67] Elizabeth was then anointed as the choir sang Zadok the Priest; the Queen's jewellery and crimson cape were removed by Lord Ancaster and the mistress of the robes, [15] the Duchess of Devonshire and, wearing only a simple, white linen dress also designed by Hartnell to completely cover the coronation gown, she moved to be seated in King Edward's Chair. There, Fisher, assisted by the dean of Westminster, made a cross on her forehead, hands and breast with holy oil made from the same base as had been used in the coronation of her father. [30] A gold canopy borne aloft by four Knights of the Garter on poles shielded her, and at her request, the anointing ceremony was not televised. [68]

Ceremony, spectacle and a right royal celebration – it’s got all the ingredients of a weekend worth watching.” On 15 July 1953, the Queen attended a review of the Royal Air Force at RAF Odiham in Hampshire. [105] The first part of the review was a march past by contingents representing the various commands of the RAF, with Bomber Command leading. This was followed by four de Havilland Venoms of the Central Fighter Establishment making the Royal Cypher in skywriting. After lunch, the Queen in an open car toured the lines of some 300 aircraft that were arranged in a static display. She returned to the central dias for the flypast of 640 British and Commonwealth aircraft, of which 440 were jet-powered. The flypast was led by a Bristol Sycamore helicopter which was towing a large RAF Ensign, while the final aircraft was a prototype Supermarine Swift flown by test pilot Mike Lithgow. Finally, the skywriting Venoms spelled out the word "vivat". [106] See also [ edit ]

Major Royal Navy units included Britain's last battleship, HMS Vanguard, and four fleet and three light aircraft carriers. The Royal Australian Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy also each included a light carrier in their contingents, HMAS Sydney and HMCS Magnificent. [97] Kate Phillips, BBC Director of Unscripted, says: “We are incredibly proud to be bringing this moment of major historical significance and celebration to viewers at home and internationally.

Both events showcase the unique role that the BBC plays in the lives of millions. Our highly talented and skilled teams will once again be delivering unforgettable shows of significant scale. Making use of the multiple media platforms and invaluable expertise across the BBC, we will be bringing people together like never before throughout the UK.” Shils, Edward, and Michael Young.
