He received a prompt reply from Lord Howard, the Deputy Earl Marshal stating "that it was not His Majesty's pleasure to comply with the application". Despite this and the urging of her legal advisors, Queen Caroline was determined to attend the coronation. At 6 am, her carriage arrived at Westminster Hall and was received with applause from a sympathetic section of the crowd and "anxious agitation" by the soldiers and officials supervising the door, which after some confusion was closed. The Queen approached on the arm of Lord Hood, but was asked for her ticket by the commander of the guard. Replying that she was the Queen and needed no ticket, she was firmly turned away. When Caroline and Lord Hood tried to enter by a side door, it was slammed in their faces. Their attempt to find another entrance was blocked by a line of armed soldiers, so they then made for the House of Lords, which was connected to the hall, but when she was denied entry there too, the Queen returned to her carriage.

The procession on foot to the abbey was the only part of the proceedings which could be seen by the general public and large stands for spectators had been erected along the route, which passed out of the north door of the hall, across

The King, perhaps wanting to be seen by the crowds looking down from windows and rooftops, decided to walk in front of the canopy; however, this caused the elderly barons to try to walk faster, but the swaying of the canopy alarmed the King who quickened his pace in turn, eventually resulting in "a somewhat unseemly jog trot" according to a press report.
