Footnotes

Lady Glenconner moved down to London from Holkham Hall in the May of 1953 in order to attend twelve rehearsals overseen by the Duke of Norfolk in preparation for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. As one of six Maids of Honour, Lady Glenconner's role 'was to carry the Queen's twenty-one-foot purple velvet ermine-trimmed train in the procession'.

Of her part in the ceremony, Lady Glenconner wrote: 'As I stood behind [the Queen], I felt so unbelievably lucky. There I was, just happening to be the right person, in the right place, at the right time, quite literally attached to the Queen...I can vividly remember how amazing it felt to be part of that moment.'
