A group of central London schoolchildren are rehearsing for a small yet significant part of the ceremony rooted in hundreds of years of history.The 48 King's Scholars from Westminster School will follow in the footsteps of previous pupils going back to at least the 17th century.The children, 40 boys and eight girls who all attend the fee-paying school next to Westminster Abbey, will be the first commoners to hail the new King and Queen by proclaiming Vivat Rex and Vivat Regina Latin for God Save the King and God Save the Queen during the traditional performance of Hubert Parry's work I Was Glad.
