Coronations don't happen very often, how are you marking the occasion?

---

The coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II as Queen of the United Kingdom took place on 2 June 1953 at Westminster Abbey, the coronation of her successor and son, Charles III & his wife Camilla, as King & Queen of the United Kingdom is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 6th 2023, again at Westminster Abbey.

With King Charles being 74 years old, he was born November 14th 1948, then we will not wait another 70 years for the next coronation but God willing Charles will enjoy a long reign, he has after all waited a long time!

So in my life-time I will (hopefully) see two coronations, that of King Charles & Prince William, but I am unlikely to see another. Queen Elizabeth's reign was probably unique in length (as in so many ways) but subject to the health of King Charles, then Prince William and Prince George, two or three Coronations is going to be average in any one life time.

So for businesses, schools, universities, charities, associations, sports clubs a Royal Coronation really is quite a unique occasion.

Hopefully we will enjoy a warm & sunny spring bank holiday weekend with the Coronation Saturday 6th May and the following Monday, May 8th, being declared a bank holiday.

The Official Emblem has been created with the flora of the four nations of the United Kingdom: the Rose for England, the Thistle for Scotland, the Daffodil for Wales and the Shamrock for Northern Ireland.

These natural forms combine to describe St Edward's Crown, used for the coronation of British monarchs.

The emblem was designed by Sir Jony Ive with his creative collective LoveFrom. Sir Jony Ive is a British Industrial & Product Designer, as well as businessman, Ive was the Chief Design Officer of Apple Inc. from 1997 until 2019.

Speaking about the design of the Coronation emblem, Sir Jony Ive said:

“It is such an honour to be able to contribute to this remarkable national occasion, and our team is so very proud of this work. The design was inspired by King Charles' love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world.

Drinkware will be massive for Coronation Merchandise, the large clean print area lends itself really well to the 2 colour print and with a secondary position for your logo to the opposite side.
