The new Sword of State, named the Elizabeth Sword in honor of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The old Sword of State, called the Papal Sword as it was given by Pope Julius II to James IV in 1507, is deemed too fragile to leave the Crown Room at Edinburgh Castle. The new Sword was designed by former Ormond Pursuivant of Arms Mark Dennis, and is longer and heavier that the Sword of State carried by Penny Mordaunt at the Coronation. It was borne for the first time by Dame Katherine Grainger.

National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication To The Coronation Of King Charles III And Queen Camilla

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND - JULY 05: Princess Anne, The Princess Royal at the Palace of Holyroodhouse following a National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication to the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla at St Giles' Cathedral on July 5, 2023 in Edinburgh, Scotland. During the service of thanksgiving and dedication for the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the Honours of Scotland (the Scottish crown jewels) are presented to the new King. The service is based on a similar service held at St Giles' 70 years ago to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II but unlike the 1953 service, the Stone of Destiny, on which ancient Scottish kings were crowned, will be present in the cathedral.
