Sultan Abdullah was in military ceremonial uniform, while Tunku Azizah was dressed in a yellow modern baju kurung, which she had specially designed for their installation ceremony in 2019.
The last time a similar ceremony was held, 70 years ago for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, four sultans represented Malaya (then under British rule). They were the Sultan of Kelantan, the Sultan of Johor, the Sultan of Selangor and the Sultan of Perak.
Twelve members of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment were among the 6,000 members of the armed services of the UK and 38 Commonwealth countries who took part in the coronation parades and marches. - FMT
