The Garter Ceremony at Windsor Palace installs new Knights of the Order in services in St. George's Chapel. The Order of the Garter once held services at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, but they became rare in the 18th century. The Garter services, discontinued in 1805, were revived by King George VI in 1948 and have become an annual event. Each June, on the Monday of Royal Ascot week, the members of the Order, wearing their ceremonial vestments and insignia, meet in the state apartments, then process on foot through the castle to St George's Chapel for the service.
