In his bid to be seen as a 'modern monarch', King Charles switched things up for his Coronation guest list, scaling it back to just 2,000 attendees made up of celebrities and dignitaries.
The ordinary folk that made the cut alongside A-list celebs and world leaders will have felt privileged to be among the chosen ones - that is until they realised they had to sit for six hours without a loo break.
Guests filed into Westminster Abbey from 7.30am this morning ahead of King Charles and Queen Camilla's arrival just before 11am.
