Note that the Cap of Maintenance is present for the State Opening of Parliament.
I'm sure the gentleman holding it has a special title but I do not know what that is.
The Pages attending the Queen were Lord Stanley, Andrew Leeming, Arthur Chatto and the Hon. Charles Armstrong-Jones.
I think the end left is Hon Charles Armstrong-Jones and end right is Arthur Chatto but cannot be certain.
