What can I say about this event? It was a truly historical occasion, and I am so glad I got the opportunity to attend. I drove up with Their Majesties and His Majesty's man at arms. The drive took sixteen hours each way, which was truly exhausting. That said, it was beautiful, and gave me a whole new respect for Alberta.
The event itself was much like other coronations I've been to, with archery, heavy and rapier fighting, equestrian, and classes. Most of the day was spent attending Her Majesty, as there were only a few of us available to do so. It was especially moving to watch the last Prince and Princess step down. Stepping downs always get me. It was also really impressive to see how many crowns and coronets came to support the first King and Queen as they stepped up.
Rather than keep writing and writing about the event, I'm just going to share a ton of photos. Enjoy!
