Queen Camilla's Coronation bouquet is laid in Westminster Abbey in poignant tradition
Queen Camilla's Coronation bouquet has been laid at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, Buckingham Palace has said.
It is a simple-tied bunch of English spring flowers including auriculas and lily of the valley – both of which featured in the Queen’s wedding bouquet in 2005 – along with hellebores, which the King wore in his buttonhole during the couple’s wedding 18 years ago and are a particular favourite of his.Camilla did not carry the flowers on Coronation day.
Mr Connolly also created the floral arrangements at Charles and Camilla’s wedding in 2005 and the Prince and Princess of Wales’s wedding in 2011. Camilla unveiled her widely-anticipated ensemble yesterday upon arrival at the church, with the 75 year old donning an elegant Bruce Oldfield couture gown with gold embroidery.
