A segment on BBC Radio 2 saying that the Coronation is largely a religious ceremony that has remained unchanged for over a thousand years. Really? There weren't any changes to this religious ceremony in, say, the mid 16th Century?

"There are elements of the ceremony that are as old as time itself." No, there aren't! This is all contingent, all materially produced through history, and this is plainly manufacturing consent for a ritual that should not exist.

Sorry, I'm still on this. The Coronation ceremony has been changed /this year/ since they're changing the Homage of Peers to an Homage of the People. This is not an immutable ritual and it's disingenuous to present it as such.
