Cardiff will be the host of a key public event on Sunday, September 11 to mark the proclamation of King Charles III. The proclamation of the new sovereign will take place in Cardiff Castle at noon when Charles will be formally announced in Wales as the new monarch.
Prior to the proclamation, which will take place at noon, a proclamation guard made up of 26 men of the 3rd Battalion the Royal Welsh, supported by the Band of the Royal Welsh and accompanied by the regimental mascot, will march from City Hall at 11.25am. The guard will march along Boulevard de Nantes, North Road and Duke Street to Cardiff Castle. Road closures will be put in place.
At the castle, the Wales Herald of Arms Extraordinary, Tom Lloyd, will make the announcement in English and the Lord Lieutenant of South Glamorgan, Morfudd Meredith, will proclaim King Charles III in Welsh. After the readings of the proclamation, members of 104th Regiment (Newport) of the Royal Artillery will fire a 21-gun salute before the singing of God Save the King and Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.
