King Charles's coronation will have a huge impact on day-to-day life this coming weekend.
Royal frenzy is sweeping the nation and plans for the highly-anticipated historical event are finally being put into place.
The impact of the monumental event won't just affect Westminster Abbey but also many parts of Scotland as millions of people throughout the country will be celebrating.
The UK economy is due to see a massive boost of over £8 billion over the bank Holiday weekend- but various shops and banks are affected by closures.
TV
It will be hard to escape all things royal on TV over the coronation weekend as BBC One and Two will both be showing live coverage.
Coverage begins with The Coronation of HM The King: The Preparation and is followed by coverage of The Coronation of HM The King: The Coronation from 10.15am. The Coronation of HM The King: The Celebration will air from 1pm. These programmes will be broadcast on both BBC One and BBC Two with sign language available on BBC Two.
STV, ITV and Sky will also opt to show live coverage of the event.
Kirsty Young and Huw Edwards are among the BBC presenting team, while Tom Bradby and Julie Etchingham front ITV's offering and Dame Joanna Lumley joins Sky.
Standing out from the crowd is Channel 4, who will be offering an alternative Coronation experience with their Andrew - The Problem Prince documentary about the Duke of York's awkward interview with Emily Maitlis.
They will also be showing films such as Johnny English and Star Trek Beyond to "provide an escape from the pomp and ceremony".
The BBC is also airing coverage of the Coronation concert from Windsor Castle on Sunday night from 8pm.
Football
The SPFL have no plans to change the fixtures on the weekend of the King's Coronation - meaning Celtic will still have the chance to clinch their title on the same day.
However, unfortunately for English football fans, no English football matches will be played during the ceremony.
Half of the planned Premier League games have been moved from Saturday, although there will be some matches to enjoy a match later in the day.
There will be no early kick-offs on Saturday, and the earliest fixtures will begin at 3pm.
There has been more disruption to other leagues, with all 36 games from the EFL being switched to a different day.
Schools
Given that the Coronation falls on a Saturday, schools will be closed.
However, students and teachers will have a day off on Monday due to the extra Bank Holiday taking place.
Schools across Scotland have been taking part in various activities to mark the ceremony, with parades and parties happening in various cities throughout the country.
Some pupils got into the kitchen to make a coronation feast.
Roads and transport
No transport or roads will be affected this weekend in Scotland.
Shops
Fortunately for those not celebrating the Coronation, there are no obligations for shops or supermarkets to be closed throughout the Coronation itself.
However, small businesses may decided to give staff the day off to join in with the celenrations.
It's obviously a very different feel to the Queen's funeral, when major shops did close their stores as a mark of respect.
Most shops will be open on Bank Holiday Monday but with reduced opening hours.
Banks
As of May 2023, the government has not announced any plans to make this year's coronation bank holiday weekend an annual occurrence.
Banks will be open for normal operating hours on Saturday, but most are usually only available to go into in the morning.
Most will be shut on Sunday as usual, with Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest and Santander generally closed - but Metro Bank stores will be open.
And most will be closed for the bank holiday on Monday.
Supermarkets
No major shops or businesses have announced they will be closed on coronation day.
However, it is possible some supermarkets will choose to shut or have reduced hours to allow staff to celebrate the coronation
On the bank holiday Monday, most Tesco stores will open from 8am to 6pm and some may be open until 8pm.
While Tesco Express stores will be open as normal, opening at 6am or 7am and closing between 10pm and 11pm.
On Saturday and Sunday, Morrisons will be trading under their normal hours - and majority of stores will be open from 7am until 8pm on Monday.
On Saturday, Sainsbury's superstores will be open at either 6am or 7am and will shut at either 10pm or 11pm.
Sainsbury's told The Mirror that the majority of its stores will be open from 8am until 8pm on Bank Holiday Monday.
Sainsbury's convenience stores will be open from normal on bank holiday Monday from 7am until either 10pm or 11pm.
Asda will be operating under normal hours over the Coronation weekend, and the majority of stores will be opening from 7am to 8pm on Monday.
On Saturday, Aldi stores will be opening as normal from 8am and closing at 10pm - and will close slightly earlier on Monday at 8pm.

Pubs, clubs and bars
Pubs, clubs and bars will be open and celebrating the big weekend throughout the country.
On Monday, it is down to each individual venue as to whether they want to open, but few will miss the chance to get the Bank Holiday crowd in.
Over the course of the three-day weekend, a whopping 35.5 million pints of beer, 5.3 million bottles of wine, 2.4 million bottles of fizz, and 200,000 bottles of Pimms are set to be drunk across the UK.
It's good news for the industry, as the celebrations are expected to help provide a £120 million raise for pubs, according to figures from the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA).
