Editing Order of the Garter (section)

===Officers===
For ceremonial occasions of the Order, the officers wear the following garments and accessories:
*The mantles for the prelate and chancellor are dark blue like those of the members (as a member, the chancellor wears a member's mantle), but the mantles for the other officers are dark red. All mantles are embroidered with a heraldic shield of St George's Cross. For Garter ceremonies, [[Garter Principal King of Arms]] wears this red mantle rather than the [[tabard]] of the [[Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom|royal arms]] worn for other State ceremonial occasions.<ref name="HN" />

The badge for the chancellor is a rose encircled by the Garter. The badge for the register is two crossed [[Feather|quills]] over a book encircled by the Garter surmounted by a crown.
