Cardiff will be the host of a monumental event to mark the accession of the UK’s new head of state following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Cardiff Council announced that arrangements have been made for Cardiff Castle to stage the proclamation of the new monarch, King Charles III on Sunday, September 11.
Prior to the proclamation, which will take place at noon, a Proclamation Guard made up of 26 men of the 3rd Battalion the Royal Welsh, supported by the Band of the Royal Welsh and accompanied by the regimental mascot, will march from City Hall at 11.25am. The guard will march along Boulevard de Nantes, North Road and Duke Street to Cardiff Castle. Road closures will be put in place.
At the castle, the Wales Herald of Arms Extraordinary, Tom Lloyd, will make the announcement in English and the Lord Lieutenant of South Glamorgan, Morfudd Meredith, will proclaim King Charles III in Welsh.
