"I present unto you Queen Elizabeth, your undoubted Queen"
Elizabeth Woodville was crowned Queen in Westminster Abbey on May 26, 1465; where both of her parents were present for the ceremony. The event made possible that their marriage to be finally announced and was recorded in "Coronation of Elizabeth Woodville" written by G. Smith, 1935, a contemporary account as:
"Clothed in mantel of purple and a coronal upon her head” beneath a purple silk canopy carried by four barons of the Cinque Ports."
After the royal procession left the abbey, the queen was led to her chamber, where she was dressed in purple surcoat and brought into the Hall to dine. Each time the queen took a bite, she herself removed her crown, putting it back when she was finished. - David Baldwin's book Elizabeth Woodville: Mother of the Princes in the Tower.
