The Gold Coach

The Coronation Coach is the coach used at the coronation of British sovereigns since the time of George III. Designed by William Chambers, built for George III and finished in 1762.

The Queen, with The Duke of Edinburgh, was driven from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in the Gold State Coach, which was pulled by eight grey geldings: Cunningham, Tovey, Noah, Tedder, Eisenhower, Snow White, Tipperary and McCreery. The Gold State Coach has been used by The Queen twice since her Coronation - at the Silver and Golden Jubilees.
