Buckingham Palace has revealed what Brits can expect from King Charles' coronation weekend later this year, from a music concert to street parties.
The coronation celebrations are set to take place from Saturday, May 6 to Monday, May 8, with the UK getting an extra bank holiday for the occasion. The weekend will begin with Charles and Queen Consort Camilla being crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday morning, in a ceremony carried out by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Charles and Camilla will arrive at the Abbey in a procession from Buckingham Palace, known as 'the King's procession', and following the coronation will return to the palace with other members of the Royal Family as part of the ceremonial 'coronation procession'. The palace have said that the coronation ceremony will be "a solemn religious service, as well as an occasion for celebration and pageantry", which will "reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions".
