Introducing the most important part of the ceremony, the anointing. The King's robe been removed by Lord Great Chamberlain, the King sat in the ancient Chair of St Edward. Four knights of Garter held a rich canopy over him. The Dean of Westminister brought the eagle-shaped Ampulla, containing the oil and the spoon, and with it the archbishop anointed the King in the form of a cross, on the crown of the head, and on the palms of both hands.
