Seated in King Edward’s chair, Elizabeth took the Coronation Oath as administered by the Archbishop of Canterbury. In the oath, the Queen swore to govern each of her countries according to their respective laws and customs. Wearing the Imperial State Crown and holding the Sceptre with the Cross and the Orb, Elizabeth left Westminster Abbey and was transported back to Buckingham Palace where she appeared on the balcony of the Centre Room before a gathered crowd as a flypast went overhead. In the Coronation Ceremony, one of the key moments was when The Queen made her Coronation Oath: ‘I Solemnly Promise So to Do’ The script represents handwritten ink on paper as per The Queen signing the declaration.
