In Pictures: A History of Garter Day

The annual Garter Day procession, where The King and the Knights process in grand velvet robes, glistening insignia and plumed hats, is one of the most traditional ceremonies in the Royal calendar.

Take a look at Garter Day over the years...

NOTE:

The Most Noble Order of the Garter is an order of chivalry founded by Edward III of England in 1348.

It is the most senior order of knighthood in the British honours system, outranked in precedence only by the Victoria Cross and the George Cross.

The Order of the Garter is dedicated to the image and arms of Saint George, England's patron saint.

Appointments are at the sovereign's sole discretion and are usually in recognition of a national contribution, for public service, or for personal service to the sovereign.

Membership of the Order is limited to the sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and no more than 24 living members or 'Companions.'

The Order also includes supernumerary knights and ladies (e.g., members of the British royal family and foreign monarchs).

The order's emblem is a garter with the motto Honi soit qui mal y pense (Anglo-Norman for 'Shame on him who thinks evil of it') in gold lettering.

Members of the Order wear it on ceremonial occasions.

I couldn't believe you got a Vulcan dick joke past Pocket's censors. :) "There is nothing little about my husband."

Well, editorial "censorship" by the publisher during the period when I was working was absolutely nil. Occasionally news would come down from Paramount about something in a given chapter that didn't work for them, and naturally you'd address that problem if it happened. But (for me at least) such occurrences were rare beyond rare.

...And that said: the dick joke was fairly obscure in its, well, dickishness. Amanda could have meant all kinds of things by "nothing little." By and large, those too young to understand it will have it go over their heads... and those old enough to get it will perhaps snicker a little, and appreciate the  moment.

...So this is one of those "honi soit qui mal y pense" kinds of line, and comes (if necessary) with a certain amount of plausible deniability (and potential critic-shaming) attached. "Oh my goodness, that's the first thing your mind jumped to on seeing that line? Tsk tsk..."

...Just another example of how unreliable narration can be executed at the auctorial meta level. :)

(ETA: And also, yet another sign that one of the more effective kinds of writing is the kind where the writer is having fun and amusing themselves, and allowing that amusement to bleed onto the page when it serves the plot and/or character interactions for it to do so.)

Founded in the fourteenth century by King Edward III, The Most Noble Order of the Garter, is regarded as the most prestigious English order of chivalry, and is dedicated to Saint George: England's patron saint.

Appointments are made at the Sovereign's sole discretion and membership of the Order is limited to the Sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and no more than twenty-four members (referred to as Companions); The Sovereign being known as the Sovereign of the Garter; the Prince of Wales, a Royal Knight Companion of the Garter.

The order's emblem is a garter with the motto: Honi soit qui mal y pense  (Shame on him who thinks ill of it), in gold lettering.

The mantle is the dark blue robe worn by members. Once made of wool, by the 16th century they were made of velvet. And although mantles were originally purple, they varied during the 17th and 18th centuries between celestial blue, pale blue, royal blue, dark blue, violet, and ultramarine. The mantles of the Sovereign, the Prince of Wales and Royal Knights and Ladies, end in trains. The heraldic shield of St George's Cross encircled by the Garter is sewn onto the left shoulder of the mantle, though the Sovereign's mantle instead, has the Star of the Order.

The hat is a Tudor bonnet of black velvet, with a plume of white ostrich and black heron feathers.

The collar is worn over the mantle and is secured with white ribbons tied in bows on the shoulders. Collars are made of gold and composed of heraldic knots alternating with enamelled medallions; each showing a rose encircled by the Garter. During the Wars of the Roses, each Garter surrounded two roses (one red for the House of Lancaster, the other white for the House of York); a design subsequently altered by King Henry VII to encircle the Tudor Rose alone.

The Great George, worn suspended from the collar, is a colourfully enamelled (sometimes jewelled), three-dimensional figure of St George the Martyr on horseback slaying a dragon.

The Garter (a buckled dark-blue velvet strap), was originally light blue. It bears the motto in gold letters and is worn on ceremonial occasions around the left calf by knights and around the left arm by ladies

This electroacoustic piece for 4 channels was produced by manipulating such items as orchestral instruments, a mouth bow, breath and some unexpected technical defects. "Slander" is not meant to be of a descriptive nature and any interpretation of the music along those lines would be a complete misconception. Honi soit qui mal y pense! (BF)

Arms of Queen Camilla

I am putting this up as someone asked in the comments for the symbolism of the shields on the coronation invitation.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camilla,_Queen_Consort#/media/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Camilla_Shand,_Queen_consort.svg, image by sodacam

and

https://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camilla,_Queen_Consort#Titles,_styles,_honours_and_arms

This coat of arms combines the coat of arms of her husband, King Charles III (on the left) and the coat of arms of her father, Major Bruce Shand, on the right. This practise is called impaling and it is a common way of combining two coats of arms.

The Supporters (the animals on either side of the shield) are a gold lion wearing a crown on the left, for England, and a blue boar on the right, taken from the crest of her father's coat of arms. The blue boar has a crown around its neck and a chain, similar to the Unicorn in the same position on the coat of arms of the British monarch.

The Crest (the bit on top) is a Tudor crown, the crown chosen by King Charles III as part of his cypher.

The Garter (the blue band) surrounds the shield as Queen Camilla is a Royal Lady of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. On the blue band is written the motto of the Order of the Garter, Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense, meaning "Shame of him who thinks evil of it".

The Coat of Arms itself has two parts:

Left hand Side: The arms of King Charles III, her husband

Right Hand Side: The arms of her father, Major Bruce Shand (see below, under the cut).

In heraldry terms, the coat of arms is described as below:

Escutcheon Quarterly, I and IV Gules, three lions passant guardant in pale Or langued and armed Azure. II Or a lion rampant Gules armed and langued Azure within a double tressure flory-counter-flory Gules. III Azure a harp Or stringed Argent; impaled with a shield of Azure a Boar's Head erased behind the ears Argent armed and langued Or on a Chief engrailed Argent between two Mullets Gules a Cross crosslet fitchy Sable.

Supporters Dexter: a lion rampant guardant Or langued and armed Gules, royally crowned Proper; sinister: a Boar Azure armed and unguled Or langued Gules and gorged with a Coronet composed of crosses formy and fleurs-de-lys attached thereto a Chain reflexed over the back and ending in a ring all Or.

The Coat of Arms appears on the Coronation Invitation as per below:

Coat of Arms of Major Bruce Shand

This is the coat of arms of Major Bruce Shand, awarded to him by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2005:

The Crest (the bit on top) is a blue boar with red feet, with one foot resting on a red star.

The Shield (the coat of arms itself) appears to be the same as that of the Shand family with the sole exception of a black sword on the top of the shield, between two red stars, whereas the Shand family has three red stars along the top of the shield. The black sword is specific to Major Bruce Shand.

The conspiratorial right has a wide agenda, but at the center of it is inflicting cruelty on children: cutting school budgets, opposing paid parental leave, forcing people to bear children they don’t want and can’t care for, torturing trans and queer kids, kidnapping migrant children and permanently separating them from their families, making excuses for political and spiritual leaders who rape and traffick children, and, of course, ensuring that as many children as possible die by gun violence.

Honi soit qui mal y pense

[snamioneasks]

Hello!! I was wondering what your best slow burn, hyped up sexual tension fics were?

These are two of my favorites:

Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense by IverinAduelen - Mature, 52 chapters - Seventh year, slow burn. When Voldemort orders Snape to retrieve a sample of Hermione Granger's brain tissue, the Head Girl must find a way to protect her body - but she may not be able to shield her heart. Partly based on a true story.

Self Slain Gods on Strange Altars by scumblackentropy - M, 20 chapters, Abandoned - What do you want me to say, Granger? That you are mine and I am yours? You are. I am. Let's not fuck around.
