The day of King Charles III's Coronation was filled with various traditions that many of us weren't familiar with this time last week.
From the carrying of the enormous Sword of State, to the "joyful cries" made by the congregation in His Majesty's honour, yesterday's ceremony proved to be quite the education for many of us watching at home.
Some viewers may be forgiven therefore for rubbing their eyes in disbelief at one particular part of the day's proceedings, before double-checking the programme of events for any mention of a "royal gender reveal".
As anyone who has ever attended a gender reveal will know, such parties will generally centre around cutting a cake or bursting a balloon to reveal a pink or blue colour inside.
Of course, some parents will opt for a more dramatic reveal, such as firework displays that light up the entire sky pink or blue. No doubt the Royal Family's recent balcony appearance will inspire those for whom a simple cupcake just won't do.
While standing on the balcony with family members, King Charles and Queen Camilla watched the Royal Air Force flypast, jetting out plumes of red, white and blue.
Although these three colours were clearly intended to represent the Union Jack, the stream of red certainly had a pinkish tinge to it, putting many people in mind of an extremely over-the-top baby shower.
An image of the new king and queen watching the display has since been shared via the Royal Family's official Twitter account, where many declared the pic to be "spectacular" and "absolutely stunning".
Others however just couldn't get past the resemblance to a baby shower, with one puzzled person tweeting: "We already knew their genders".
Another deadpanned: "My fave part of Coronation tradition: The royal gender reveal."
The planes seen in the pics are known as the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force's (RAF) aerobatics display team. They flew over Buckingham Palace during what was the finale of a 60-aircraft display, held in honour of the Coronation.
Giving thanks to the Red Arrows team, another tweet from the Royal Family's Twitter account read: "Thank you Red Arrows for an extraordinary finale to an extraordinary day!"
