The Coronation Banquet in Westminster Hall was for long an essential feature of every Coronation. It was dropped when Queon Victoria was crowned, and first reappeared in this new form in 1937, when King George VI lumdhed with a distinguished and representative group of Commonwealth legislators.
Some 750 members of the different branches of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association will be present at today's luncheon, with at least one representative from nearly every branch. The occasion is unique in that never before has the Monarch met so many legislators from so many countries of the Commonwealth.
The Queen, after arrival, will have presented to her her Prime Ministers, Presiding Officers of Upper Houses and Speakers of Lower Houses of the fully self-governing countries of the Commonwealth.
She will sit in a special chair in the centre of the High Table, on the very spot on which King Charles I stood on a very different occasion, that of his trial.
