When is the King's coronation, who is attending, and is there a bank holiday?

With less than a month to go until the coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort, attention has turned to the all-important ceremony. In recent days, Prince Harry has confirmed he will be attending the historic event without Meghan Markle, while a new range of commemorative coins, featuring a crowned portrait of the King for the first time, have been confirmed.

The coronation will also mark a long weekend, with an extra bank holiday added in May to mark the occasion. Supermarkets and stores have been busy prepping for celebrations, with coronation bunting, themed foods and decorations lining the shelves.

In Wales, the King's coronation will be shown on the big screen at Cardiff Castle, while Foodies Festival will visit the capital for a three-day celebration to mark the event. In Newport, the council deadline for street party applications is looming.
