 During royal coronations, however, separate banners for each of the two constituent nations of the Commonwealth were still used.Crown (i.e., Polish) and Lithuanian standard-bearers carried the furled banners in a procession to the royal cathedral where, shortly after the anointment and just before the crowning of the king-elect, they handed the banners to the primate who unfurled them and handed them to the kneeling king.The king would then stand up and give the unfurled banners back to the standard-bearers.
