in the factory over there. each one tells a story of our unique historic patterns, where to cut them and where to place them, and it acts as a bit of a guide for them. we've been making coronation designs since 1902, with the very first piece dating back to king edward vii, king charles�*s great—great—grandfather. the pieces go right through to 1937, to the coronation that never was for king edward viii. and then, in more contemporary times, under the design stewardship of walter moorcroft, to 1953, with the coronation of queen elizabeth ii. we use a technique called tube lining. everything's made by hand. each piece takes at least a week to make, from start to finish. it's an honour, every piece of moorcroft that i work with and with the people that we work with, it's an honour. but forthe king, i mean, that is an amazing achievement and something that i will remember
