This is the order of service of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2nd June 1953.

The coronation ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey where the Queen was crowned by the Arch Bishop of Canterbury.  This ceremony hasn’t changed much since the Norman Conquest in 1066. For more information on the Queen’s Coronation please see: http://www.royal.gov.uk/royaleventsandceremonies/coronation/coronation.aspx

Special Collections also house booklets about the local celebrations commemorating Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897. 

Special Collections are defined as those collections of library materials which, by virtue of their physical form, content or depth of subject coverage are distinguished from the general stock of the Library. They are maintained as separate and identifiable collections.

Special Collections at Lancaster have been developed or acquired in order to provide specialist materials to support the University’s teaching and research activities.
