喬治五世及瑪麗王后的加冕典禮

喬治五世及瑪麗王后的加冕典禮（英語：Coronation of George V and Queen Mary）于1911年6月22日在大不列顛和愛爾蘭聯合王國倫敦威斯敏斯特教堂舉行。此次活動為20世紀歐洲大陸上歐洲各個帝國所參加的四次活動中的最後一次活動。加冕典禮在愛德華七世駕崩後，喬治五世繼位後的13月後舉行。 6個月後即1911年12月12日，喬治五世和特克的瑪麗親自出席德里杜尔巴，為首位出訪印度的英國君主，也是唯一一位到訪印度的印度皇帝/女皇。 以下段落截取喬治五世的日記。 天气阴沉多云，有小阵雨和强劲的凉风，但对人们来说比酷暑更好。今天確實是我們生命中一個偉大和值得紀念的日子，也是令我們難忘的一天，但卻讓我想起9年前親愛的父母加冕時許多的悲傷回憶。10點30分，我和梅乘坐由八匹白馬拉著的加冕馬車離開BP。在LD 基奇纳的指揮下，有超过50,000名士兵在街道上排列。数十万人给了我们盛大的接待。修道院里的仪式是最美丽和令人印象深刻的，但这是一次可怕的磨难。它很宏伟，但很简单，也很庄严，而且进展顺利。大卫来向我致敬，这让我想起了我对亲爱的爸爸做了同样的事情，他做得很好。亲爱的梅看起来很可爱，她在我身边确实让我感到安慰，就像过去18年里她一直对我一样。2點15分，我们离开威斯敏斯特教堂。（11点之前到达）我们戴着王冠，手里拿着权杖。这次我们的馬車途徑了圣詹姆斯街和皮卡迪利的购物中心，人潮汹涌，装饰非常漂亮。在3點之前达到BP。我和梅到阳台上向人们展示自己。唐尼给我们拍了一张穿着长袍、戴着王冠的照片。与我们的客人在这里共进午餐。和Bigge一起工作了整个下午和其他人回复的电报和信件，我有数百封。宫殿前聚集了这么多人，我又走到阳台上。我们的客人于8點30分与我们共进晚餐。我和梅再次向人们展示了自己。写和读，累了。11點45分睡觉。到处都是美丽的灯饰。 德國皇儲和皇儲妃，國王和王后的侄子和姪媳（代表德皇威廉二世） 普魯士的亨利王子，國王和王后的侄子 薩克森-邁寧根的世子妃，國王和王后的姪女（代表邁寧根公爵格奧爾格二世） 丹麥王儲，國王和王后的表弟（代表國王弗雷德里克八世） 斯巴達公爵和公爵夫人，國王和王后的表弟和表妹（代表國王喬治一世） 希臘和丹麥的喬治王子，國王和王后的侄子 希臘和丹麥的喬治王子和瑪麗王妃 慶親王世子（代表宣統帝溥儀） Coronations and the Royal Archives. www.royal.uk.

Today was indeed a great & memorable day in our lives & one which we can never forget, but it brought back to me many sad memories of 9 years ago when the beloved Parents were crowned. May & I left B.P. in the Coronation coach at 10.30. with 8 cream coloured horses. There were over 50,000 troops lining the streets under the command of Ld. Kitchener. There were hundreds of thousands of people who gave us a magnificent reception. The Service in the Abbey was most beautiful & impressive, but it was a terrible ordeal. It was grand, yet simple & most dignified & went without a hitch. I nearly broke down when dear David came to do homage to me, as it reminded me so much when I did the same thing to beloved Papa, he did it so well. Darling May looked lovely & it was indeed a comfort to me to have her by my side, as she has been ever to me during these last 18 years. We left Westminster Abbey at 2.15. (having arrived there before 11.0) with our Crowns on & sceptres in our hands. This time we drove by the Mall, St James' Street & Piccadilly, crowds enormous & decorations very pretty. On reaching B.P. just before 3.0. May & I went out on the balcony to show ourselves to the people. Downey photographed us in our robes with Crowns on. Had some lunch with our guests here. Worked all the afternoon with Bigge & others answering telegrams & letters of which I have hundreds. Such a large crowd collected in front of the Palace that I went out on balcony again. Our guests dined with us at 8.30. May & I showed ourselves again to the people. Wrote & read. Rather tired. Bed at 11.45. Beautiful illuminations everywhere.
