So, the Coronation of our new King and Queen was about a week ago. Cool things were done, such as the lineage being sung, and just some other neat things. I can't remember -everything-, mostly because I was trying to keep some friends out of trouble, but with the outgoing royals knighting a gentle, it was a busy, busy event. Even cooler, we got to see the Ancient and Honorable crowns being used, which was also crazy neat, as they aren't used much, though, I think that's due to heft and age.
What are the cool things that your kingdom does at Coronations? (I'm a bit of an interkingdom anthropology nerd. Don't mind me.)

I wasn't at Midrealm 40 Year either, despite the fact that the event took place just across town for me. Like most events, it took place over the Jewish Sabbath, and I can't travel by car on Shabbat, only by foot. Camping events are easier, because I can get there with enough time to get camp set up well before sundown on Friday and not have to leave till Sunday morning. Events where you can't get there till Saturday morning and have to leave Saturday night, those are just horrible for me, because I can't attend at all. I know that the celebration was supposed to also take place on Sunday, but in reality, Sunday was just an ordinary fighter practice which I elected not to attend because I don't fight. Like, ever.
But I have seen the pictures from 40 Year, and they are beautiful. If any of you are on the Midrealm YahooGroup, go check in the old posts; someone posted about the dress worn by the new Queen Annemarie, which was apparently even more gorgeous in person than the photographs show. The details of the dress's construction are posted somewhere in the group's messages archive, as of last week.
Also, the Incipient Barony of Ayreton presented the Crown with a set of banners, each one depicting the shield of a different barony or incipient barony within the Middle Kingdom, each made by citizens of Ayreton. They were beautifully made. The new monarchs asked Ayreton to hang onto them until they could make a formal presentation to each of the baronies at Pennsic. They'll most likely be used for the opening parade.
The lists are alive right now with discussions of other gifts that can be given along with the banners, now. Banner stands, carrying cases/bags for the collection of banners, and so on are being discussed as potential ideas. It's very cool to be in an incipient barony.
