ISTR something about the Queen's Scholars from Westminster School having the honour to be the first to proclaim "vivat regina!" (or "rex", of course), at the moment of coronation. Accurate? Worth adding?

From what I have read, they made the proclamation "Vivat! Regina Elizabetha!" as the Sovereign walks into the Abbey. But I'm not sure if they should be included; there must be scores of individuals with minor privileges. -- Emsworth 01:45, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
