Huw Edwards has been named as one of the presenters for the BBC's coverage of King Charles' coronation next month. The coronation programme, airing on May 6, will cover the lead up to the Westminster Abbey service, the ceremony, the return procession to Buckingham Palace and the King’s balcony appearance.
The BBC News presenter, originally from Llanelli, will provide commentary as the doors of Westminster Abbey open to greet those arriving for the ceremony as Sophie Raworth, Clare Balding, Anita Rani and JJ Chalmers also contribute to the day’s coverage. He said: "People will be relying on the BBC for coverage of what promises to be a memorable weekend."
The much-loved presenter also featured with Kirsty Young in the Queen’s state funeral coverage, which included the service from Westminster Abbey and the procession of the coffin from London to Windsor, in September. Former Desert Island Discs and Crimewatch presenter Kirsty Young has also been named among the presenters covering the event in a studio at Buckingham Palace on the day and will also anchor the next day’s special live broadcast of the coronation concert in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
