The procession route for the Coronation of King Charles III has been revealed - and it's much shorter than the one his late mother took.
As per tradition, the newly-crowned King and Queen will leave Buckingham Palace in the diamond jubilee state coach and head for Westminster Abbey for the ceremony.
But they will break with tradition by only using the 260-year-old Gold State Coach for the return trip.
The new monarch will travel just 1.3 miles, which is down significantly from the late Queen Elizabeth's 1.6 miles there and five miles back in 1953.
When the royal couple leave Buckingham Palace, they will travel along The Mall, through Admiralty Arch, around Trafalgar Square, along Whitehall and through Parliament Square to arrive at Westminster Abbey.

They will then travel around Parliament Square to Broad Sanctuary before arriving at Westminster Abbey for the coronation service at 11am.
The King's coronation procession stretches to just 1.3 miles - around a quarter of the length of the late Queen's five-mile celebratory journey.
She travelled 1.6 miles to the abbey, then took a meandering five-mile carriage right home, popping through Haymarket, Piccadilly, Hyde Park Corner, Oxford Street and East Carriage Drive in Hyde Park.
After being crowned, the couple will return to Buckingham Palace along the same route, but the second procession will be on a far grander and larger scale.
The procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace, The Coronation Procession, will be much larger in scale, taking the same route in reverse.
The Coronation Procession will include Armed Forces from across the Commonwealth and the British Overseas Territories, and all Services of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom, alongside The Sovereign's Bodyguard and Royal Watermen.
Once at the Palace, the King and Queen Consort will receive a royal salute from the troops on parade, before stepping out on the balcony for an RAF flypast.
A newly crowned Charles and Queen Consort will make their way back from Westminster Abbey via the tried and tested route of Parliament Square, along Whitehall, around Trafalgar Square, through Admiralty Arch and down The Mall back to Buckingham Palace.
The Coronation is set to honour centuries of tradition – but will also crown his drive to modernise the monarchy by featuring a special Twitter emoji.
Plans reveal the Crown Jewels will play a starring role during the religious service at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
And the Coronation Procession will feature hundreds of members of the Armed Forces from the UK, Commonwealth and British Overseas Territories, as well as the Sovereign's Bodyguard and Royal Watermen.
Charles, 74, will be crowned with the 17th-century St Edward's Crown, which has been resized for him, before switching to the lighter Imperial State Crown at the end of the ceremony, as per custom.
Queen Camilla, 75, will be crowned with the Queen Mary's Crown and hold the Queen Consort's Rod with Dove – despite controversy over the rod featuring ivory.
Organisers defended the use of Crown Jewels featuring ivory, despite the Prince of Wales's campaign to stop illegal trafficking of animal parts under his United for Wildlife project.
Last August, Prince William hailed a "landmark" sentencing under which a man was jailed for five years for conspiring to traffic millions of dollars of rhinoceros horns and elephant ivory.
Britain is at the forefront of global conservation efforts after the Ivory Act 2018, in force from June 6 last year, imposed a near-total ban on dealing in items containing elephant ivory.
The ivory sceptre Camilla will hold is part of the Royal Collection, traditionally held at the Tower of London, which is managed by Historic Royal Palaces.
Buckingham Palace said: "As with any historical collection of its size, it is to be expected the Royal Collection inc-ludes items that contain ivory as this reflected the taste at the time."
