History of the Coronation of James II

Although it is probable that Scholars were present at every Coronation since the refoundation of the School by Queen Elizabeth, the first reference to their presence occurs in Sandford?s History of the Coronation of King James II. It is noted that ?when the Queen entered the Choir, the King?s Scholars of Westminster School, in number forty, all in surplices, being placed in a Gallery adjoining the Great Organ-Loft, entertained Her Majesty with this short Prayer or Salutation, ?Vivat Regina Maria?; which they continued to sing until His Majesty entered the Choir, whom they entertained in like manner with this Prayer or Salutation ?Vivat Jacobus Rex?, which they continued to sing until His Majesty ascended the Theatre.?

Sandford, Francis, 1630-1694
