This is an update of my post published on January 15, 2011:
On the evening before her coronation, Elizabeth made a “royal entry” or “triumphal progress” through the city of London. Her citizens crowded around to greet and honor her; speeches were given, and pageants were held. Apparently Elizabeth responded to these honors in such an open and gracious way that the spectators loved her.
On the day of the coronation, Elizabeth was crowned by the Catholic bishop of Carlisle, and she was presented to her people while fifes, trumpets, drums, organs, and bells played.
