Description:
A beautifully illustrated, highly readable account of the pageantry and ceremonial in which
Britain is so rich – which is executed with such precision, dignity and splendour.
The author describes all aspects of pageantry today, including: Trooping the Colour, State Visits, The Lord Mayor's Show, the Garter Service at Windsor, and pageantry in Scotland and Wales. He also describes the history of these events, with many revealing and entertaining anecdotes, as well as explaining the formalities of such occasions as the Accession and State Funerals.
