It was magnificent, I agree. And it's such a shame that Spain has apparently chosen to do away with that type of Investiture for its monarchs.
Getting rid of the religious aspect of the ceremony leaves the installation/monarchy devoid of any connection to the history of the Nation, sense of continuity and therefore meaning.
My opinion only.

I guess there was additional pomp for King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia as it was also a Restoration of the Monarchy and at the time Roman Catholicism was the State Religion of Spain.
A lot has changed in almost half a century!

Coronation took place for only of the prussian Kings. For King Friedrich I, and King Wilhelm I.
 
Wilhelm's first ceremonial appearance as emperor took place at the opening of the German Reichstag in the White Hall of the Berlin Royal Palace on June 25, 1888 .

The coronation recreated in the film Marie Antoinette (2006).
 
Have there been any examples of countries including their male and female consorts the same way in coronations? Would love to see that in the future whether the male consort has the title of prince consort or king consort.
