On 31st May 1533, a pregnant Queen Anne Boleyn processed through the streets of London from the Tower of London to Westminster Hall in readiness for her coronation the following day.

You can see maps showing the procession route and stops, and a detailed run-down of the procession, pageants and entertainment in an article I wrote a couple of years ago – click here. It’s one of those days I’d love to time travel back to!

Also on this day in history…
