The Lord President of the Council reveals how she prepared to carry the Sword of State for the King's Coronation.

In September, then-Prime Minister Liz Truss gave Ms Mordaunt, her one-time rival for the party leadership, the job of Leader of the House of Commons and Lord President of the Council.

And the only person who could have stolen the King's show was possibly Penny Mordaunt, the lord president of the council, who hovered around the high altar looking like a deity who had escaped from an ancient Greek urn.

The MP and Leader of the House of Commons was heavily involved in the ceremony through her role as Lord President of the Council - an ancient role.
