ON A DAY OF POMP AND PAGEANTRY
THE KING AND QUEEN
GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO THEIR KNIGHTS AND LADIES ON GARTER DAY
Dressed in their Garter robes, held by young pages Charles van Cutsem and Guy Tryon, Their Majesties process through Windsor for the historic ceremony
Just a few days after celebrating Trooping the Colour in London, the royal family were out in force again to attend the Order of the Garter service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The King, who has returned to royal duties while continuing to receive cancer treatment, was on sparkling form, supported by his wife the Queen to take part in the centuries-old ceremony.
In his role as Sovereign of the Garter, wearing the blue velvet robes, glittering insignia and white plumed caps of the UK’s oldest and most senior order of chivalry, His Majesty processed down the hill from the castle quadrangle to the chapel’s west door, flanked by his Knights and Ladies.
