The King and Queen were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children for a Coronation rehearsal at Westminster Abbey this morning.

It is permanently kept in Westminster Abbey.The crowndels feature a likeness of St Edward’s Crown, which will be used to crown the King at Westminster Abbey. While valuable in sentimental terms, most of these items have not increased in financial worth, as so many were made and remain in circulation. However, some well-chosen commemorative pieces are now coveted by collectors, fetching thousands of pounds at auction. We asked the experts which mementos take the crown… Which coronation souvenirs were most popular?
The Queen's Lord Lieutenants commissioned artist Terence Cuneo to paint the Coronation ceremony and in 1954 Herbert James Gunn painted a State Portrait of The Queen in her Coronation outfit. Some people in the Abbey witnessed their fourth Coronation. Princess Marie Louise (Queen Victoria's granddaughter) had also seen the Coronations of King Edward VII (1902), King George V (1911) and King George VI (1937). Westminster Abbey has been the setting for every Coronation since 1066. Before the Abbey was built, Coronations were carried out wherever was convenient, taking place in Bath, Oxford and Canterbury. Prince William gave photographers a nervous smile as the family was driven away from the Abbey after the rehearsal.
