	Description:		For many in Wales the Investiture was a delight; for others, a provocation. Half a century later, we live in a very different country, and a very different world. Can we imagine a future Investiture on that scale? Or indeed imagine the kind of Coronation which the Queen enjoyed, and the survival of notions of a monarchy sanctioned by divine ordinance? Roy Jenkins discusses the future of the monarchy, and its religious status, with a panel of guests, all of whom have their own memories of the occasion. Revd Marcus Wyn Robinson was a schoolboy guide to Caernarfon Castle; Mansel Jones was a reporter for the Western Mail. The Guardian's former Royal Correspondent Stephen Bates was a schoolboy, as was Alun Lenny, who recalls a fervid atmosphere of protest.
