  ABOUT THE CORONATION The coronation of the monarch of the United Kingdom is a ceremony in which they are formally invested with regalia and crowned at Westminster Abbey. It corresponds to coronations that formerly took place in other European monarchies all of which have abandoned coronations in favor  of  inauguration   or   enthronement   ceremonies. A coronation is a symbolic formality and does not signify the official beginning of the monarch's reign;   de jure   and   de facto   their reign commences from the moment of the preceding monarch's death, maintaining the legal continuity of the monarchy. The coronation usually takes place several months after the death of the previous monarch, as it is considered a joyous occasion that would be inappropriate while mourning continues. This interval also gives the planners enough time to complete the elaborate arrangements required. The most recent coronation was that of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953, more than a year after
