Inside Westminster Abbey for Coronation and exactly where King Charles will be crowned

Images give a glimpse inside of Westminster Abbey with the seating arrangements as the clock ticks down to the Coronation.

It is less than 24 hours away until King Charles’s crowning, where people in the UK and around the world will be following, and the finest details will be scrutinised.

The final rehearsals were completed ahead of the extravagant event at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, which will honour centuries of royal tradition.

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will be wearing priceless crowns adorned with precious jewels worth billions.

And a glance inside the Abbey shows where the royals will be seated, including the Coronation Chair which has been the centrepiece of coronations for over 700 years. That's where Charles will be sitting when he is anointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, receives the regalia, and is crowned.

Under the Coronation Chair is the Stone of Destiny, which is an ancient symbol of Scotland’s monarchy and has been used for centuries in the inauguration of its monarchs. It is seen as a sacred object but its origins are not known.

Behind the Coronation Chair are the Throne Chairs for the King and Queen, and that's where Charles will receive homage from the Archbishop of Canterbury and The Prince of Wales.

To the right of the central chair are the Chairs of Estate, positioned to the south side of the High Altar and is where most of the activity takes place during the service.

Then there is the Cosmati Pavement which was laid in 1258 by order of Henry lll, and the elaborate mosaic will be below the Coronation Chair.

The service is one of the oldest royal events in history, dating back more than 1,000 years. However, the new king is said to have made some changes to reflect his role as monarch in modern Britain.

There will be some key differences at the ceremony on May 6, compared to Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation on June 2, 1953.

Although changes have been made to scale down the royal extravaganza, the reportedly £100million affair has still been slammed by critics amid the cost of living crisis.
