A brand new Twitter emoji is among the new details announced by Buckingham Palace surrounding the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III. His Majesty will be crowned during a religious service at Westminster Abbey on Saturday (May 6), with a special bank holiday confirmed for the following Monday.
Hundreds of members of the Armed Forces and treasures from the Crown Jewels will be among the features of the special day, with King Charles reportedly wishing to honour centuries of tradition. But in a nod to a future modernisation of the monarchy, a special Twitter emoji has been revealed which people will be able to use to celebrate the coronation, the Mirror reports.
Other breaks with tradition will include travelling a procession route just a quarter of the length travelled by Queen Elizabeth II during her ceremony. Below are the key details released so far by the Palace ahead of the historic occasion.
