Of the various United Kingdom Coronations, does anybody know what Members of the Royal Family were seated in the Royal Box and which Princes were seated separately to do homage?

Wasn't it just Elizabeths husband and uncles (excluding the Duke of Windsor) who paid homage out of the members of the royal family?

HM The Queen's Coronation isn't too much of a problem because of the film and TV coverage.
The Princes who had separate chairs from the Royal Box and who paid homage were The Dukes of Edinburgh, Gloucester and Kent. The front row of the Royal Box contained the immediate Royal Family with the second row made up of the Duke of Edinburgh's mother, sisters [with their husbands], the Earl and Countess of Harewood and Lady Patricia Ramsey and her husband.
It gets more difficult to define for previous coronations.

I'm still interested if there is any information regarding this, especially those Royal Dukes that did Homage to the Monarch at the Coronation.
In the meantime I have seen footage of HM King George VI's Coronation in 1937. HM's brothers the Dukes of Gloucester and Kent [the 1st Duke of Kent as opposed to his son the 2nd Duke] are shown. I have a feeling that HRH Prince Arthur of Connaught also paid Homage, but he isn't shown.
At HM King George V's Coronation in 1910 I have a feeling it was HRH The Prince of Wales [later HM King Edward VIII], HRH The Duke of Connaught and, again, HRH Prince Arthur of Connaught, but wonder who else...
Any information would be gratefully received.

I've pondered a few times how the coronation of Charles will pan out. I can't see the pomp and circumstance of Elizabeth II's coronation being recreated for him. Is there a core element to the coronation service that is mandatory and, perhaps, other parts which are at the discretion of the monarch? So much has changed since 1953. I'm not wishing things to speed along! I hope the Queen is with us for many, many more years!!! Seeing this topic today made these wonderings return.
