One of Norwich's most influential figures will be at the heart of the King's most private moments of the coronation.
A famous quote written by Julian of Norwich, the author of the earliest surviving book in the English language written by a woman, 650 years ago, will be taking pride of place.
“All shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well,” comes from Julian’s book, Revelations of Divine Love and has been embroidered at the bottom of a screen used to shelter Charles III during the ceremony's anointment.
The anointing of the new monarch is one of the most sacred parts of the coronation service, which will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6.
It is when the Archbishop of Canterbury will cross the monarch’s hand, breast and head in holy oil, and this time the King will be afforded more privacy during this process than any monarch before him.

Charles will be shielded by decorated screens on three sides, with instructions given to adorn them with homages to the Commonwealth.
The middle panel contains a large tree with leaves made up of the names of the Commonwealth nations, featuring Julian’s famous excerpt.

The book from 1373, detailed Julian’s visions she had when she fell ill as a 30-year-old in a small cell attached to St Julian’s Church, between King Street and Rouen Road.
Josiah English - who is originally from Norfolk, Virginia, in the USA - is manager of the neighbouring Julian Centre and described the inclusion in the special day as “amazing”.
The 31-year-old said: “It goes to show Norwich’s historical value and still shows the influence it has as a city in this country.
“It shows the role of Julian is still so important because her words are still full of things that resonate and speak truths to people all around the world.”
