The Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla will be attended by around 2,000 specially invited guests. The grand ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, and marks the first time a monarch has been crowned in the UK in 70 years.
While his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was watched by more than 8,000 people, who crammed into the abbey on specially constructed grandstands, to take in the proceedings, Charles has opted for a much smaller guestlist.
Family and friends of the King and Queen, politicians, world leaders, celebrities and everyday heroes will be among the people in attendance. And, in a break from tradition, members of foreign royal families have also been invited to attend.
