The coronation of George II and his wife Caroline as king and queen of Great Britain and Ireland took place at Westminster Abbey, London, on 11/22O.S./N.S. October 1727.[1] For the coronation, George Frideric Handel was commissioned to write four new coronation anthems, one of which, Zadok the Priest, has been sung at British coronations ever since.[2] The coronation followed a procession to the abbey.[3][4]
