A fact from Coronation of George VI and Elizabeth appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 September 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that despite efforts to shorten the service, many noblemen attending the 1937 coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were carrying sandwiches in their coronets?

Reference of the Princesses

I checked MOS:HONORIFIC and I still fail to see why the Princesses’ article of “The” can’t be used in reference. They weren’t just “Princess Elizabeth” and “Princess Margaret,” for they were daughters of the British sovereign. This is convention as with subsequent articles like the children referred to in the article of the coronation of George V and Mary, and so forth. The article” “The” doesn’t seem to be an honorific, but a mere article for distinction as princesses of the United Kingdom as the children of the sovereign.

I think it is an honorific, but even if it isn't, it's unnecessary jargon, and articles should be written in plain English. DrKay (talk) 18:02, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bromsgove "artwork"

We had this image in the article, captioned:

Artwork commemorating the Coronation of King George VI in 1937 at a post office in Bromsgrove

It looks to me to be the standard monogram-and-date used on most British Crown (i.e. main) Post Offices of the period. I have removed it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:48, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
