George VI and Queen Elizabeth with their children, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, after the coronation in 1937

A royal coronation is steeped in tradition that has barely changed in 1,000 years. 

The coronation robes feature precious materials including: silk, mantua, satin, damask, sarsnet, cloth-of-gold, finest ermine and the most treasured of gems.  Needlework is of the finest detail. 

An encyclopaedic knowledge of the symbolism and history of previous coronations ensures that the coronation robe embraces modernity whilst paying respectful homage to centuries of tradition.
