Coronation Bracelets Are Commonwealth Gift Revival After Four Centuries. Probably for the first time since the Coronation of Edward VI in 1547, the Sovereign is to be invested with the Armills, or Bracelets (among the most ancient royal emblems) at the Coronation in Westminster Abbey, London, on June 2. New Armills (design of which is shown here), a Commonwealth gift to the Queen, will be used at the ceremony instead of the existing ones, which were made for the Coronation of Charles II in 1661. April 15, 1953.
