The new knights were then conducted to their stalls and seated under their own banners. 'File oaths were administered and the ceremony in the chapel ended by knights drawing their swords and holding them-by the blade before the altar. The procession then returned. to the Abbey, and the proceedings concluded with the TeDeum, an anthem and the hymn, “For AH the Saints.”
