For borrowed, the bride wore a diamond tiara from the Spencer family collection, clasping her silk tulle veil, and a pair of diamond-drop earrings lent by her mother Frances Shand Kydd. Blue was a bow sewn into the waistband. For luck, there was a tiny 18-karat gold horseshoe tucked away in the voluminous skirts. The anxious Emanuels were stationed just inside the entrance of St. Paul's to give the bride the final once-over before she took the 3½-minute trip down...
...such troubles will seem far behind, however, when she takes to the open water, her hull a glimmering swath of royal blue, red and gold, with the royal coat of arms on the bow and the royal cipher on the stern.

...plenty of versatility at the hands of an inventive director--which Coe clearly is. For example, while the Third Chorus describes the 'fleet majestical' on its journey from Hampton to the French coast, some ropes and some wooden props held in a V-shape give us the rigging and bow of a rolling and creaking ship. The instant the words proceed to the king's 'Once more unto the breach, dear friends,' the wooden structures turn into a quartet of ladders to enable the soldiers to scale the wall of Harfleur...
