Its an Archbishop who puts the Crown on your head...not the Minister or public servant..which means..u r answerable to God in your duty..not the public

Here, here! God bless her late Majesty's memory, and God Save the King, who will be likewise anointed and crowned in just three days' time!

Love that quote from you'll know what ❤️❤️

@@ryanhunter2987 *Hear hear

Yes, consecration by election surpasses your mortal understanding. Silly serf.

You spelt she wrong

@@richardconte3837 No Richard, the word privileged is spelt incorrectly!

i agree! very moving. God Bless Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

We will never see her like again. 😭

@@LindaCharles-sg6mz Sadly it seems the days of service to others is fast fading.

It must’ve been amazing

This is fake

@@BlackstoneValleyOrganist1887 What do you mean "fake"?

My mate Peter Hawkins' family had a 9" telly. I saw Quatermass on it. Frightened the heck out of me. He explained adverts to me, I thought it was idiotic for Santa Claus to sing about Murraymints after he came out of the chimney, made no sense to me, why on Earth would he do that ? We got our telly 1960 when I was 13. Cost 50 quid.

@@BlackstoneValleyOrganist1887 So's yer Granny!

that is simply a fact. Also love the 1950s heavy-handed but passionate playing!

Very emotional

Yes, this one is Zadok the Priest.

Also that entrance piece from h & m wedding- the song written for queen Anne's birthday - Light divine.

Divine music elevates the soul heavenward. In that great cathedral I can only imagine the power of the experience in that moment.

But will we? I'm sure we will have this anthem sung but will it be a new setting?

Definitely we will and I'm very looking forward to watching the Coronation in May this year. I can't believe this is going to be on my birthday which is amazing!

The words to Zadoc the priest have been said at every coronation since King Edgar the Peaceable in 979. The words were set to music by George Frederic Handel for the coronation of King George II in 1727.

And Islamic prayers the fucking heathen

I can't wait for the coronation at Westminster Abbey

She is the Champion and in a league of her own. Lol

Yes its writen for the kings and queens of uk

Tony Britten has based the champions league imn from the Zadom priest chor coronation

​@@richierich7229 Why 'lol'?

😹😹😹😹

And the Commonwealth realms

Yes, and Canada. Today marking the 97th year of her birth. I am grateful to have been alive during her gracious reign. ❤

Our Queen, by The Grace of God, for more 70 years , and now , Elizabeth II, The Great, for History.

LISTEN TO THE VERSION OF THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE VI , 1937

Agreed this is much better than King Charles's arrangement.

@@christianliechtenstein4879 I like this better. The other one was a bit too slow.

The ‘53 coronation was the real deal. The Queen was all class from the beginning till the end.

because they believed in what they sang, they didn't just sing

ves very nice XXX

I did the same thing. Very much looking forward to the anointing and coronation on Saturday! God Save The King!

He was conductor for the whole service.

That's marvellous

None better

TOTALLY INCORRECT`! Dr (later Sir) William McKie conducted the music DURING the actual service. Sir Adrian only conducted the orchestral music before and after the service. It was NOT the LPO either. The Coronation orchestra, of 61 players, comprised the best players from EXACTLY 15 professional orchestras from around the country - including the BBCSO, LPO. LSO, ROH, CBSO, SNO, HALLE etc. The Abbey choir was joined by the full choirs of St Paul's Cathedral, St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle and the Choir of HM Chapels Royal, then augmented by choristers and lay clerks from 18 other choirs around the country numbering 385 in total! All this information, and much, much more, is in the Abbey Library for viewing and research purposes, which is precisely where I got it from.

@@davidboult4143 NO - please read my further comment......

Profound comment--such a good musing!!!

According to my surname and family lore, I am a descendant of the Prophet Nathan. Handel's invocation is sublime.

Almost, however the Conqueror himself was anointed and crowned in Winchester Cathedral

Same observation in charles III coronation . It is an old Catholic Latin Mass in English

If I understand correclty the sound is pasted from a previous recording.

I think the b&w imagery and the drizzly overcast weather somehow gave the long transmission its own style: silver and gray concentrated attention on the action of the figures. The discreet placement of cameras (not too many prying close-ups) and the slow editing rhythm- shots had to be mixed rather than use fast cutting- give the ceremony a hypnotic, meditative quality. If you prefer color and standard filmic reportage, try 'A Queen is Crowned', the documentary shown in cinemas with Laurence Olivier's florid narration.

She’s not going to f*ck you

Goosebumps every time.

Amazing!

this is also the last time that all the peers of the realm shall ever be assembled en masse, as King Charles made his coronation more egalitarian, shorter and simpler than it used to be.

I think the haziness of the recording makes it sound better because of the age and the fact that the recording looks more grand.Adds that glorious flavor

They used the eves of the cathedral to place addition choirs, this version is incompatible to the dirge we were exposed to last weekend!

@@TyresaerysTargaryen there’s a remastered live recording of it btw ❤

I’ve just listened to both versions and the difference between the two is, firstly, the age of the choristers; I understand the average age of the choir in 1953 was much older than in 2023 and therefore they produced what you might call a fatter sound. The second difference is better quality microphones in the modern age. In this version the higher ranges, which are occupied by sopranos, strings and flutes, distorts. That’s simply down to the quality of equipment they had at the time. I think nostalgia also plays its part too.

There's also the esprit de corps. We were a better, more homogenous, nation back then.

It's because the hymn "Zadok the Priest" tells about the coronation of the King Salomon. So, they can't change to "Zadok the Priest and Nathan the prophet annointed Salomon QUEEN" hahaha it wouldn't make sense 😉

Because the song is about King Solomon.

Wow!

This Englishman thanks you for your kind words.

@@drsigh ❤️🌹😍

What was so special about her reign? Seems it was a reign of decadence and decay. The UK is a multicultural shit hole country

Edward William our late Queen's reign will be known throughout history but those who remember her reign will eventually die we all know about WWI but everyone is dead who remembers it

She did a remarkable job reigning for 7 decades, she ascended the throne at such a young age, and never wavered in her promise that she’ll serve until the end of her life. She was the epitome of duty.

A magnificent piece that brings goosebumps every time I hear it.

It's awesome

Me too, and I also love the perfect rendition of ZtP for King Charles' Coronation.

Just wait till Charles get crowned. We're gonna have FLAC recordings of that one

Nobody does pomp and circumstance quite like the Brits; heck, the very song “Pomp and Circumstance” is British in origin!

one of very few occasions to have outright medieval stuff on screen...

@@mordecai4207 looks like this is happening now

God bless her soul. 🙏 R.I.P.

But, as you see, Queen Elizabeth II's anointing was hidden from view---hence the canopy at the end, about to cover her for that part! It is expected from the released Coronation Liturgy text that for HM King Charles' anointing, a screen will be used so that no one sees this most sacred part of the entire liturgy.

Here, here! God Save The King!

Hear* Fuck's sake

Pull away the veil and what are you left with? An ordinary women with of modest ability and little imagination. But wrap her around this and anoint her with oil, and hey presto, what do you have? A goddess

And to think you gave up all that? I gave it up for something greater.

@@iluop3623 for love?

Standing on such tradition Is it any wonder how they loved tossing gay men in the clink?

"Magic" = manipulation by deception.

Yes, he stripped it down to avoid people accusing him of wasting too much money. He somewhat modernized an ancient ritual.

Man is not destined to be in heaven. Believers are to be resurrected upon the return of Jesus and reign with him for a thousand years before a new earth is established and God himself will descend and forever dwell with his people

@@geordiewishart1683 But redeemed man with his spiritual bodies will. Has showed Moses an earthly tabernacle which will be the model for the heavenly tabernacle. Our natural bodies come first, the spiritual ones second. Everything will be perfect and there will be no more sorrow, pain or death forever and ever and ever. But first must come the allowing of the spirit and man of lawlessness, and the Time of Tribulation. It is surely coming.

I was raised an evangelical Protestant and was initially taught that man had an immortal soul and that upon dying, the soul of a believer went to heaven and then it joined the new incorruptible body upon the resurrection at Christ's return. But further study of the bible shows this is not true. Man does not have an immortal soul. This is a pagan belief. Man IS a soul. A living creature. Even in a sinless state, man was destined to live on earth. NOT heaven. The meek shall inherit the earth etc. The wages of sin is DEATH. And the only hope of the believer is the resurrection. Revelation is a symbolic book, with visions of souls in heaven being symbolic. In my father's house is many mansions. This is not heaven. This is the kingdom on earth.

The man of sin is papacy

@@geordiewishart1683 I don’t agree with your philosophy as it’s clear God creates a heavenly city which comes down from heaven. I prefer to believe Paul when he says “our citizenship is in heaven,” which is a real, tangible place.

"Jesus Christ is Lord"

Because the slower tempo emphasizes the stateliness of the occasion. Charles wanted to keep the tempos up because he wanted a slimmed down coronation. He lost the stateliness of the 1953 version. Interesting to realize.

Or, she adapted her walk to the music?

@@gbrlljnsIt’s probably the truth of it. As a musician, I selfishly like to give my fellow musicians as much credit as possible …

@@Bailey2006a That's nice!

😂😂😂 humorously sad but true

Presently the British monarch is the only Royal of any kingdom that is head of both church and state

@@graceandstrength5186 Good point. Unless one considers the Vatican a state?

Birds and jinns were singing for King Sulayman

Solomon failed God, this Anthem also predicts the eventual fail of The Monarchy. Towards the end of Queen Elizabeth's ll's long reign, we now see a Catholic Prime Minister. Prince Charles always has his mind opened to the mystics and occult. Camilla Parker Bowles shares her birthday with the execution of the Romanov's. God punished Solomon through his off spring. Rehoboam, Solomon's successor was a fail, not popular with the people, raised taxes.... Handel was brilliant, (Piscean), he chose Solomon for this majestic masterpiece for good reason.

For sure. We had ppl in the chat asking questions since commentators were terrible at explaining things. We had to take time to explain the process, the meaning, the music, everything.

You don't need to fear; she formed and trained her son and heir very well. He is far more popular than most media want to admit, and he has been preparing consciously for this role for 70 years. He also embodies much of all that was best about her late Majesty. God bless her memory, and God Save the King!

@@ryanhunter2987 Plus he is more forward-thinking; a good thing.

Ha ha I get it, it's because Handel is played in Evangelion.

I think the same 🥰 Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽❤️

@Martin Baldwin-Edwards as were the Angles and Saxons.

@Martin Baldwin-Edwards How do you work out that the Queen was German? Her mother was Scottish, her father, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandmother were all British.

@Martin Baldwin-Edwards Yup. But you can't tell ideologues that. The Saxe Coburgs are of the House of Guelph. Take it far back and all these mafia bloodlines are of Roman patrician origin. The Saxe Coburgs are granted their position by far more powerful elite houses such as the Aldobrandini, Colonna, Orsini etc. Rothschilds are minions. Evil to the core, all of them. Heck, even King Charles bragged about his ancestor Vlad the Impaler. All roads lead to Rome. End of.

@@archiebald4717 The British Royal Family is of virtually 100% German ancestry. Of course all of the ancestors, monarchs and consorts, were British, but ethnically they remained remarkably German for several generations. King George I spoke only German. The Royal spouses (consorts) were all German (except Queen Alexandra who was Danish), because the British constitution didn't allow the monarch or consort to be Catholic, and other countries such as Spain and France were traditionally Catholic. The language spoken among the British Royal Family as late as the reign of Queen Victoria was German. The Royal Family's German origins became a problem during World War I and it was then that they officially changed their surname to "Windsor" from "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha," the German Royal House which Prince Albert was born into.

Said no one.

@@TheOneAndOnlyZelenkaGuru Apparently you can't count very well.

@@blueridgerunner1 Rather be bad at counting than a royal fascist sympathiser

@@TheOneAndOnlyZelenkaGuru fascist,? we live in a constitutional monarchy and you spreading lies, about our past monarch.

@@messerz2516 Cry more fascist bootlicker

And she perfectly did it ....apart from corrupted government

I believe the televising stopped when the canopy was brought to the Queen in King Edward's Chair, for the annointing must not be seen by anyone but the Queen and the Archbishop. The 2023 coronation setting for the annointing was truly beautiful and impressive, the panels brought in and arranged around the King in King Edward's Chair, with red-coated soldiers standing at attention, heads down so as not to see anything of this most holy ceremony.

Someone wrote me that the present Duke of Kent was also at the 1953 coronation. Since he is now 87, he could have remembered the coronation of 70 years ago.

Yes - God bless!!

2nd longest.

As she was interred the image of her being anointed in this scene came to mind. As they removed the crown from her coffin, I imagined her returning to a young woman, in spirit, again - relieved of her earthly duties.

I have always wondered what she was doing while this song is played .Thank you so much for clarifying ! What an incredible Queen

I didn't know this. Thanks for the info

@Martin Baldwin-Edwards Do you really think it's practical for a head of state to wash people's feet in the modern day? Sure it doesn't compare to what Jesus may have done but those folk need the money more than clean feet

@Martin Baldwin-Edwards True

@Martin Baldwin-Edwards I love the idea that a man with a double-barelled surname talks about class and snobbery. (like the Queen, your poshness is not your choice fault nor under your control but..the irony remains good fun. CHEERS!😊)
