The Archbishop of York's arrival at the Chapel Royal for the marriage of Queen Victoria was reported in the Illustrated London News as follows: 'The Archbishop of Canterbury was the first of the eminent ecclesiastics who took part in the important business of the day...and took his seat on the left-hand side of the altar, where were placed two stools, the other for his Grace the Archbishop of York, who soon after entered the chapel, and took his place beside him.'
