King Charles III will be proclaimed as the country’s new monarch at historic ceremonies across Greater Manchester this weekend. Public announcements will be made in each borough on Sunday, with some roads being closed to allow the events to take place.
Charles will first be officially proclaimed King this Saturday at St James’s Palace, in London before a ceremonial body known as the Accession Council. The wording of the proclamation may change, but has traditionally been a series of prayers and pledges that praise the previous monarch and pledge support for the new one.
Events in Greater Manchester are expected to draw large crowds to witness a new era being ushered in, following the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday. Below is a list of arrangements for each borough in the city region.
