A flat shoe might better for long time in standing position but some lady might not think that flat shoes are proper enough for official event, how ever I think it won't noticed clearly if you wear long dress and you are a tall person.

I should wear a blue dress princesse-style with a simple diamond tiara and white classic shoes. I should wear diamond earrings too. My hair would be not tied up, but over my shoulders as Maroc Queen wears it.

I love the Coronations as they took place during the previous centuries: Gorgeous Gowns and Robes with real Majestic Grace, Splendor & Ceremony: flowing Gowns with long sweeping Royal Trains and Divine Royal Ermine Robes...
So, dreaming to be a Royal, My Coronation would be like that...

Well I love this Crown
http://famousdiamonds.tripod.com/greatimperialcrown.jpg but if not that one, I'd say this one http://www.hrp.org.uk/Images/crown-jewels.jpg
This necklace http://dcpages.com/gallery/d/385-2/H...mond_Front.jpg
This orb http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...mmer_-_Orb.png and this sceptre http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._-_Sceptre.JPG
I know they don't match, but I'm mixing up my favorites. I don't know what dress, shoes, or robe though.

I'd wear a white or very pale pink dress that was very, very full, billowing back into a long train, sleeveless and embroidered with red roses. On top of it I'd wear a robe of crimson velvet some 25' long.
The jewellery I'd wear would be my ruby and diamond cross, which never comes off, my jewelled Catherine bracelet, the rings I normally wear; a rose gold, ruby and diamond necklace and matching diadem.

There would also be plenty of beads and sequins on my dress for that bit of extra sparkle, as was the case with the Queen's coronation dress.

What music would you have for your coronation?
Following on from Constance's thread about what you would wear for your coronation, I've started this thread to discuss what music you'd have for the event.
I'd come in to Parry's I was Glad as has been the case with British coronations since 1902.
Mass setting: Schubert in G
Anthems: to include Byrd's Haec Dies, Handel's Zadok the Priest, Purcell's Let my Prayer Come Up
I guess I'd go out to La Rejouissance from Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks.
Over to you.

I would certainly like to have The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams which is a reflective piece of music reminiscent of the English countryside, but it has some dramatic elements to it as well.

It would have to include Vaughan Williams' "Psalm 100" for choir, congregation, brass and organ." I think it was written especially for the Queen's coronation. It is one of my favorite pieces of choral music and has a verse or two in which the congregation sings the melody.
