| Dance is an essential part of many celebrations such as weddings and coronations. |
| In Medieval and Tudor times feasts tended to be gargantuan often to celebrate coronations of Kings, religious occasions or end of harvests. |
| Pembroke had a long and distinguished political career, was sword-bearer at five coronations, and was a keen patron of the arts. |
| Its 70 members take part in ceremonies such as the State Opening of Parliament and coronations. |
| Instead, they were grand spectacles with thousands of spectators present to watch the coronations. |
| Faulty equipment, a leaking roof and even a shortage of toilets were just some of the practical problems encountered at coronations and funerals. |
