We needed this because we did not have the Aragorn's kneeling scene on the field of cormallen but here at the coronation. Aragorn kneeling to the hobbits is my favourite part of the film, and as I've said on other posts, I cried like a baby! So we couldn't have had Frodo standing by the door, and then running off to join the other hobbits.<P>Why gimli with the crown though? Well, Legolas was with the other elves: Elrond, Arwen et all, so Gimli had no one to stand with in the line up, so Jackson killed two birds with one stone and had Gimli holding the cushion.
