Mar. 20, 1953 - Alterations To The Imperial State Crown.. Preparing For Coronation of Queen Elizabeth. Alterations are being carried out to the famous Imperial State Crown - the crown that Her Majesty will wear on her drive from Westminster Abbey after the Coronation Ceremony... This crown contains the Second Star of Africa - which is the second largest cut diamond in the world and which weighs more than 300 carats.. The work is being carried out by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company at their Regent Street, London, headquarters and extra precautions have to be taken owing to the extreme values of the items handled.. The crown has to be altered in shape before every Coronation to fit the head of the new monarch. Keystone Photo Shows:- Mr. H.G.
