The text outlines a forthcoming royal ceremonial of great pomp at Westminster Abbey on May 1.

Crowned in Ceremony of Coronation of Monarchs

The text describes the crowning rite performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The queen receives Koh-i-Noor and jeweled insignia, is crowned with regalia, and presents to the throne. The king is anointed, crowned with St Edward's Crown, and clothed in royal mantles before the royal procession to St Edward's Chapel.
