The peers and peeresses took their places in the Abbey, and then the procession which was to walk up the aisle was formed.

Writing to his daughter Susan on June 19, 1838, before he had met with his rebuff from the Attorney-General, he comments briefly on the festivities incident to the occasion: Everything in London now is colored by the coming pageant.

All the Peers and Peeresses put on their coronets, and the blaze of splendour through the Abbey seemed to be doubled.
