29 May 1533 – Anne Boleyn’s Coronation Celebrations Begin

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception 

The Queen’s diamond jubilee river pageant – perhaps reminiscent of Anne’s coronation.

Anne Boleyn was crowned Queen on 1st June at Westminster Abbey, but coronation celebrations actually began on 29th May, the day after Archbishop Cranmer had proclaimed the validity of Anne’s marriage to Henry VIII.
The first day of celebrations was a river pageant along the Thames, a procession which took Anne Boleyn from Greenwich Palace to the Tower of London.  Read all about the pageant in 29 May 1533 – Anne Boleyn’s Coronation Pageantry Begins.
