The Coronation Proper (5) ensues, where the Archbishop places the St. Edward's Crown on the Monarch's head, signifying the formal installation of the King. 7. The homage of the Peers, Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Commons is then taken (6), symbolizing the acceptance of the Monarch's rule by the Estates of the Realm. 8. The final act of the ceremony is the Blessing and Dismissal (7), where the Monarch is blessed by the Archbishop and the congregation is dismissed. 9.
