at the waist with belts, and elegant hats as they opted for monochrom
ensembles for today's royal event

*****************************
What
is the Order of the Garter? How King Edward III was so inspired by
tales of King Arthur he set up his own group of knights almost 700 years
ago
In
medieval times, King Edward III was so inspired by tales of King Arthur
and the chivalry of the Knights of the Round Table that he set up his
own group of honourable knights, called the Order of the Garter.
Nearly
700 years later, the Order is the oldest and most senior Order of
Chivalry in Britain. The Knights, now both male and female, used to be
limited to aristocracy, but today they are chosen from a variety of
backgrounds, in recognition for their public service.
The
patron saint of the Order is St George (patron saint of soldiers and
also of England) and if there are vacancies in the Order, appointments
are announced on St George's Day (23 April).
The
Order of the Garter is a 700-year-old tradition which recognises great
public service. Membership is limited to a maximum of 24 and is usually
Lords and Ladies with The Queen, left in 2018, naming members as she
sees fit. An 'extra' group of members who do not count towards the
official limit are Royal Knights, including Prince William, while Prince
Charles is an automatic member as first in line to the throne
The
spiritual home of the Order is St George's Chapel, Windsor. Every
knight is required to display a banner of his arms in the Chapel,
together with a helmet, crest and sword and an enamelled stallplate.
These
'achievements' are taken down on the knight's death and the insignia
are returned to the Sovereign. The stallplates remain as a memorial and
these now form one of the finest collections of heraldry in the world.
Knights
of the Garter are chosen personally by the Sovereign to honour those
who have held public office, who have contributed in a particular way to
national life or who have served the Sovereign personally.
As sovereign and heir, The Queen and
Prince Charles are automatically given membership of the Order and are
considered 'ex officio knights'. The Prince of Wales is known as a Royal
Knight Companion of the Garter.
The sovereign, known as the Sovereign of the Garter, is the only one with the power to admit new members.
The
Garter is open to British and Commonwealth citizens. Notable former
members include Sir Winston Churchill, Stanley Baldwin and Sir Edmund
Hillary.
Field Marshall, the Lord
Bramall, a former Chief of the Defence Staff, the Duke of Abercorn, the
Duke of Westminster and Baroness Manningham-Buller, the former
Director-General of MI5, are among the current Knights and Ladies of the
Garter.
There are also two orders of
'extra' knights. Members of the Royal Knights and Ladies include Prince
Andrew, Prince Edward, Prince Charles, the Princess Royal and Prince
William.
A second order, the Stranger
Knights and Ladies, is bestowed on foreign rulers such as Queen
Margrethe II of Denmark and Harald V of Norway.
Although
new additions are named on St. George's Day, the 23 April, the
initiation ceremony takes place in Junmantle during the traditional
Garter Procession, which sees members parade through Windsor.
The
annual iconic Garter Day procession, where The Queen and the Knights
process in grand velvet robes, glistening insignia and plumed hats, is
one of the most traditional ceremonies in the Queen's calendar.
Every
June, a grand procession of the knights takes place at Windsor Castle,
accompanied by a marching band and Officers of the Order, all in grand
ceremonial dress.
The day begins with
The Queen formally investing any new Companions with the Order's
insignia in the Throne Room of the Castle. The Queen and The Duke of
Edinburgh entertain the members and officers at a lunch, and then all
process on foot to a service in St. George's Chapel.
There
is a short service where any new Companions are installed. The
Sovereign and other members of the Order then return to the Upper Ward
of the castle in carriages and cars.
