What: THE THRONE ROOM Where: Online Cost: Free Link: https://www.rct.uk/visit/the-state-rooms-buckingham-palace/highlights-of-buckingham-palace?dm_i=4SVR%2CFCVY%2CU6V18%2C1SY96%2C1#/#throneroom The Throne Room's dramatic arch and canopy over the thrones was the masterpiece of the architect John Nash, and was greatly influenced by his background in theatre set designs. Central to the room is the pair of throne chairs which are known as Chairs of Estate, and were used for the coronation ceremony of The Queen in 1953. There are also chairs made for the coronation of King George VI, and a single throne chair made for Queen Victoria in 1837. The chair embroidered with 'EIIR' was used by The Queen at the beginning of the Coronation, up until the point that she was crowned. After the crowning ceremony she sat in the Throne Chair, which is on display in the Garter Throne Room at Windsor Castle.
