King Charles lll will officially be crowned as the the monarch on May 6 in an historic ceremony which will be broadcast around the world.
It will be the first coronation since 1953 when the late Queen Elizabeth was crowned at Westminster Abbey and went on to reign for more than 70 years. King Charles, 74, ascended the throne in September 2022 when his mother died at the age of 96.
The Coronation is set to showcase up to 15 working members of the Royal Family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, as they ascend to the palace balcony for the day’s events.
And Britons up and down the country will no doubt be getting into the party spirit on the bank holiday weekend as they prepare to celebrate the reign of King Charles.
The Coronation ceremony kicks off at 11am on May 6, with Their Majesties travelling roughly 1.3 miles in procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey and back again.
You can catch the Coronation in person from 6am at viewing areas along the procession, which are on both sides of The Mall and Whitehall – as well as at allocated screening sites.
