Coronation timetable: Your complete guide to the day
Processions, ancient rituals, a fly-past and the crowning moment - the key stages of King Charles III's coronation.
Culture & Entertainment
Millions of people across the UK and beyond are preparing to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III - a symbolic ceremony combining a religious service and pageantry.
It is being held at Westminster Abbey on 6 May and the King, who will be crowned along with Camilla, the Queen Consort, will be the 40th reigning monarch crowned there since 1066.
The day of splendour and formality will feature customs dating back more than 1,000 years. Here is how we expect it to unfold.
The formal celebrations will begin with a procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey with viewing areas along the route opening at 06:00 BST.
Public access to sites along The Mall and Whitehall will be on a first-come, first-served basis, with people directed to official screening sites in Hyde Park, Green Park and St James's Park once they are full.
Stands for invited guests, including armed forces' veterans and NHS and social care staff, have been erected outside Buckingham Palace.
Just under 200 members of the armed forces - most from the Sovereign's Escort of the Household Cavalry - who will be taking part in the procession to Westminster Abbey will start to gather on Saturday morning.
Another 1,000 service personnel will line the route, but the overall procession will be much smaller than its equivalent in 1953 when other royal families and Commonwealth prime ministers were among those who took part.
