Hundreds of police officers, soldiers and coronation event staff are already on the streets around Westminster Abbey - where the coronation is due to take place.
Members of the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force and Commonwealth forces are arriving at the UK's busiest railway station over the next hour or so on board nine trains. In England, the King's coronation will be marked with three days of festivities, including processions, a bank holiday and a star-studded concert. In the Shetland Islands, the council has already voted against making 8 May a bank holiday, citing financial pressures and education concerns amid teacher strikes in Scotland as reasons why.
He added that while the King's coronation will be"scaled down" from the Queen's in 1953, it is still likely to be"magnificent". "Being absent would symbolise isolation, the rift between them and the royal family is deep enough, and I think they have little choice," he added. Now to The Mall where hundreds of people have been camping out.
"While predictions for the coronation weekend are lacklustre, the results from Mother's Day are more encouraging, demonstrating that Brits are still taking advantage of one-off moments to go out and celebrate," Esme Harwood, director at Barclays, said. While Argentina tries to frame the island as a"post-colonial outpost", the coronation offers the Falklands a key opportunity to renew their links with the UK and express"their gratitude for previous military campaigns", said Matt Benwell, who has studied the Falklands for more than 15 years.
In March, Argentina pulled out of a 2016 cooperation agreement and demanded new talks, despite 99.8% of the islanders voting to remain a British overseas territory. In separate comments on coronation celebrations, a spokesperson for the government said:"The Falkland Islands are proud to be members of the UK and Commonwealth family and this celebration is yet another important historic event that we are able to be part of."Excitement is building as Charles III prepares to be crowned King today in a historic ceremony full of pomp and pageantry which will be watched by millions of people at home and across the world.
