Charles and Camilla will be officially crowned King and Queen at the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6. As part of the celebrations there will be two processions through London - one as they make their way to the abbey and another as they return home to Buckingham Palace.
The first procession will be a smaller affair as the couple travel in the Diamond Jubilee Coach to the historic venue. The 1.3-mile route has been tried and tested on many a royal occasion before and will see the King and Queen Consort head down The Mall, through Admiralty Arch, around Trafalgar Square, along Whitehall and onto Parliament Square.
Their return journey will see them reverse the route, but in a longer procession as they travel in the Gold State Coach, which moves at a walking pace. On this procession, dubbed the Coronation Procession, the newly crowned King and Queen will be joined by other members of the royal family.
