King Charles III became Britain's new monarch in September, following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II. Next summer he will be officially crowned during his coronation.
Taking place at Westminster Abbey, the ceremony is an occasion for pageantry and celebration, steeped in religion and thousand-year-old traditions. Charles' coronation will be Britain's first in 70 years.
His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was just 25 years old when she was crowned at a ceremony in Westminster Abbey on 2 June, 1953. When his coronation takes place next year, King Charles will be 74, making him the oldest person to be crowned in British history.
