Elizabeth II, George VI and George V were crowned with St Edward's Crown.
Elizabeth II and George VI, and I think George V, wore it until the Recess after which they emerged for the final procession wearing the Imperial State Crown.
Victoria and Edward VII were both crowned with the Imperial State Crown and emerged wearing it. Edward VII had been ill and the lighter crown was used for him.
