King Charles's much-awaited Coronation is taking place later today, and excited royal fans have been waiting for the huge event, camping along The Mall in Central London to catch a glimpse of royals this morning.
The official ceremony will see the King and Queen parade through the capital before they are officially crowned at Westminster Abbey.
After the ceremony, working royals will gather on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for a flypast which will see squadrons from the Royal Air Force, British Army, and Royal Navy soar over the Palace.
The RAF said there will be more than 60 aircraft, including the iconic Red Arrows.
The flypast over the Palace will be the main event, but the aircraft will fly over parts of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex on the way to London.
Afterward, they will travel over parts of Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire.
The route has been split into zones but exact details will not be revealed in advance for security reasons.
The areas are:
- Area A: North Sea and Norfolk Coast, 1.15pm-3pm
- Area B: Norfolk (Thetford) and Suffolk (Bury St Edmunds), 1.45pm-3pm
- Area C: Suffolk (Ipswich), 2pm-3pm
- Area D: Essex (Colchester, Chelmsford), 2pm-2.45pm
- Area E: London, 2.10pm-2.45pm
- Area F: London (Croydon) and Surrey, 2.20pm-3pm
- Area G: Berkshire (Reading), Wiltshire (Swindon) and Oxfordshire (Oxford), 2.20pm-3pm
- Area H: Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, 2.20pm-3pm
- Area I: Wiltshire (Marlborough, Tidworth), 2.20pm-3pm.
The Red Arrows' route and timings have also been released:
- 1.53pm - Southeast of Methringham
- 1.58pm - South of Skegness
- 2.05pm - Over the North Sea
- 2.13pm - East of Caister-on-Sea

But to ensure the safety of everyone, the weather will need to be monitored closely, and there is a risk that the flypast could be cancelled or scaled down if it is too windy or rainy.
The Met Office is currently predicting showers, but as of now, there is no indication that the flypast will be called off.
The RAF will keep an eye on the forecast and make a decision shortly before the flypast.
Met Office deputy chief forecaster Steven Keates said: "On Saturday we will see showers developing from late morning in some central, eastern and northern areas, but also with some sunny spells through the day.
"At this stage it looks like London could avoid the showers in the morning before some develop through the afternoon.
"Heavier rain is expected to move into the south-west of the UK and heavy showers are likely for parts of Northern Ireland. Winds will remain light away from the far north where gusty winds will begin to ease.
"Highs of 20°C are possible in London in any sunshine, with mid to high teens possible elsewhere."
