The acts began with the imposition by His Majesty the King Don Juan Carlos to His Majesty the King of the sash of captain general, which took place in the Palace of La Zarzuela, in the presence of the rest of the members of the Royal Family and His Royal Highness the Infanta Doña Elena.
Once finished, Their Majesties the Kings, Their Royal Highnesses the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta Doña Sofía, her Majesty Queen Sofía and her Royal Highness the Infanta Doña Elena addressed the Congress of Deputies.
Queen Sofía and Infanta Doña Elena entered Congress through the Floridablanca door, where they were received by the Presidents of Congress and the Senate, Jesús Posada and Pío García-Escudero. The Kings, the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta Doña Sofía were received upon their arrival by the President of the Government, Mariano Rajoy, and the Chief of Defense Staff, Fernando García Sánchez.
An honours battalion made up of a squad of spenders, flag, band and music and four companies from the three armies (Army, Navy and Air Force) and the Civil Guard, commanded by a lieutenant colonel of the Air Force, surrendered honors and, after receiving news, His Majesty the King reviewed the troops.
After the military honours, the presidents of the Congress and the Senate received the King, the Queen, the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta Doña Sofía, who entered the Congress through the Puerta de los Leones. In the Hall of Isabel II, they were greeted by the president of the Constitutional Court, Francisco Pérez de los Cobos, and the president of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judiciary, Carlos Lesmes, and in the Hall of Lost Steps, by the members of the Boards of both Houses.
The entrance procession to the hemicycle was then formed, made up of the maceros of the General Courts, the tables of Congress and the Senate, the presidents of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court and General Council of the Judiciary, the presidents of the Congress and Senate, the President of the Government, Their Royal Highnesses the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta Doña Sofía and Their Majesties the Kings.
The procession entered the hemicycle and stood in places of respect: to the left of the Kings, the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta Doña Sofía, and then the president of the Constitutional Court and the president of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judicial Power; to the right of the Kings, the President of the Government, the President of Congress and the President of the Senate.
The president of the Congress of Deputies opened the Solemn Session of Oath and Proclamation. The King swore allegiance to the Spanish Constitution and faithfully carry out his office, before the deputies and senators in joint session, as representatives of the sovereignty of the people, in accordance with the Spanish constitutional tradition since 1812. Later, the National Anthem sounded, at the end of which His Majesty King Felipe VI delivered his Proclamation message before the Cortes Generales.
After the Session, Their Majesties the Kings and Their Royal Highnesses the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta Doña Sofía will leave the Hemicycle preceded by the maceros and followed by the presidents of Congress and the Senate, and will go to the Hall of Lost Steps, where greeted by the spokespersons of the Congress and Senate, the presidents of the Autonomous Communities and the former presidents of the Government.
After the proclamation of Felipe VI, Their Majesties the Kings, accompanied by Their Royal Highness the Princess of Asturias and Her Royal Highness the Infanta Doña Sofía, will preside over a military parade from the stairs of the Puerta de los Leones. At the end, they will go by car from the Congress of Deputies to the Royal Palace of Madrid, escorted by a cavalry section of the Royal Guard. The route will be Carrera de San Jerónimo, Paseo del Prado, Calle de Alcalá, Gran Vía, Plaza de España and Plaza de Oriente.
