The Robe of State, also known as Parliament Robe, is a long mantle worn by the British monarch when he/she enters Westminster Abbey for the coronation, and at the annual State Opening of Parliament. The garment, as worn by Elizabeth II, consists of an ermine cape with a long crimson velvet train (about 4.5 m in length), also lined with ermine. The train's top is decorated with two rows of gold lace and gold filigree work.
