The military uniforms and honours worn by the Royal Family at the coronation

The Royal Family wore an array of intricate gowns, grand velvet cloaks and military uniforms for the coronation, signifying their membership of historic orders of chivalry and connections and affiliations with the UK's Armed Forces.

The King wore Royal Naval trousers under his coronation tunic, while the Princess Royal and Prince William appeared in full military uniform.

Prince Harry, however, was reportedly not authorised to wear military uniform, instead pinning his medals to his civilian clothes.

Below are all the details of the Royal family's military coronation attire, including the Queen's pages who paid tribute to some of Her Majesty's military affiliations.

His Majesty the King

Arriving at the coronation service, His Majesty wore the Robe of State, a crimson coronation tunic and a cream silk overshirt with Royal Naval trousers.

The Royal Naval trousers belong to the King and are regularly worn as part of His Majesty's Royal Navy full ceremonial tailcoat.

On departure from Westminster Abbey, His Majesty wore the Robe of Estate and a purple coronation tunic in place of the Robe of State and crimson tunic.

The purple coronation tunic was inspired by similar tunics worn by George V and George VI at their coronations.

On arrival at Westminster Abbey, the insignia worn by the King was the Garter Star, Collar and Great George.

After the ceremony, during the departure from Westminster Abbey the King wore a Lesser George, probably made for George II in the mid-18th century.

This Lesser George was partly remounted for George III and again in 1858 for Queen Victoria.

Made with diamonds, sapphires and rubies, the Lesser George was worn by King George V and King George VI at their own coronations in 1911 and 1937 respectively.

The Garter Star worn by His Majesty on the coronation tunic was originally presented to George V (then Duke of York) at the time of his marriage in 1893 by Officers of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Naval Reserve.

The star is set with diamonds, and the central cross of St George is set with rubies and diamonds, surrounded by blue enamel.

The Princess Royal

The Princess Royal, Colonel of The Blues and Royals, wore the full ceremonial uniform of the regiment.

Her uniform was adorned with Thistle Mantle, Thistle Collar and Star, as well as GCVO Star, full-sized medals, KCVO Star and Companion of the Order of the Bath neck decoration.

The Thistle Mantle is made from dark green velvet, lined with white and embroidered with the representation of the Star of the Order.

The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle represents the highest honour in Scotland.

Princess Anne, 72, also wore the Garter Sash and Garter Star – The Most Noble Order of the Garter is above the Thistle.

Her role in the coronation was as Gold-Stick-in-Waiting – a ceremonial role that saw her riding on horseback behind the King and Queen from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace.

The traditional role of Gold-Stick-in-Waiting was the bodyguard of the monarch.

Today, the role is purely ceremonial, but it meant that Princess Anne had a prominent role in the coronation, wearing a full military uniform.

Completing the uniform of the former Olympic equestrian is a bi-corn hat with a red plume.

The Prince of Wales

The Prince of Wales wore the ceremonial dress uniform of the Welsh Guards which reflects his position as the regiment's colonel.

The ceremonial dress is made from Hainsworth scarlet wool doeskin and is single-breasted in style with a stand-up collar.

The silver leek embroidered on the collar is the emblem of the Welsh Guards and the gilt buttons depict the regimental insignia.

Prince Willian also wore the pilot's wings which he attained while flying helicopters during his service with the RAF.

Below the wings on his left are a Queen's Golden Jubilee medal, a Queen's Diamond Jubilee medal, and a Queen's Platinum Jubilee medal.

The Prince, 40, also wore the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle Sash, with the Badge of the Order.

The Most Noble Order of the Garter (Garter Star) is worn above the Thistle Star.

The heir to the throne wore the Garter Mantle, the Collar of the Order of the Garter, and the Great George of the Order of the Garter.

Prince Harry

The King's youngest son did not play a formal role in the coronation.

Prince Harry is a veteran and, as retired British military personnel are not allowed to wear uniform unless authorised to do so, the duke had his medals pinned to civilian clothes.

The Duke of Sussex wore four medals: an Afghanistan Service Medal and Golden, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals, as well as the KCVO Star, representing the Royal Victorian Order, which recognises distinguished personal service to the monarch of the Commonwealth.

Prince Harry served in the Army for 10 years, undertaking two tours of Afghanistan.

His military career began in 2004 and his active service ended with him in the rank of captain.

The Queen's Pages

The King and the Queen had four pages of honour supporting them on the day of the coronation.

The pages are schoolboys who are close to the family, either friends or relatives.

Among the King's pages was the future monarch, his oldest grandson Prince George.

Queen Camilla's pages were her grandsons Gus Lopes, Louis Lopes, Freddy Parker Bowles, and her grand-nephew Arthur Elliot.

The Queen's pages paid tribute to some of Her Majesty’s military affiliations in their attire.

Gus Lopes and Arthur Elliot wore uniforms based on the uniform of the Rifles, of which Her Majesty is Colonel-in-Chief.

The green jackets feature contemporary red Rifles piping, with a historic collar braid on the neck and front, and Her Majesty's cypher on the shoulder.

Louis Lopes and Freddy Parker Bowles wore uniforms based on the uniform of the Grenadier Guards, of which Her Majesty is Colonel-in-Chief.

The red uniforms replicate elements of the contemporary Grenadiers uniform, with gold cuffs and an Officer's gold and crimson sash around the waist.
