[63] Television [ edit ] I was brought home from Switzerland once more and my mother took me to a rehearsal at the Abbey at which a thousand people were present. The next day there was another rehearsal, and then a garden party for seven thousand on a perfect summer day, with lots of overseas guests, who had come for the Coronation, many wearing colourful national dress. We all went to a ball at Hampton Court, and the next day I had to go with my uncle Gloucester to London Airport to meet yet more distinguished guests.

Despite a number of hitches, described above, the coronation ran relatively smoothly. It has been somewhat overshadowed in history by the larger Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953; the Abbey's sacrist, Jocelyn Perkins, said that the 1953 event was "out and away the most impressive" of the 1953, 1937 and 1911 coronations. [56] Nonetheless, a number of those present, the King included, commented privately on the spirituality of the ceremony. Despite recalling it as being "inordinately long" and remembering how heavy the crown and robes were, the Queen said that it was "wonderful and there is a great sense of offering oneself". [57] The King wrote to Lang thanking him for his support and, although he said it was an "ordeal", he also wrote that "I felt I was being helped all the time by Someone Else as you said I would".
