The coronation in Westminster Abbey will be on a Saturday, Buckingham Palace reveals.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will preside over the anointing, blessing and consecration of King Charles.

In 1953 temporary stands were built inside the Abbey which allowed 8,000 guests. But the current capacity of the Abbey is about 2,200, which is likely to be the limit for next year.Attention will be paid to how he might adapt the ceremony for his own coronation - such as the wording of his oath or whether there will be a multi-faith element to the service.

Monarchs traditionally sit in the 14th-Century King Edward's Chair and are crowned with the solid gold 17th-Century St Edward's Crown.They are given emblems of their royal role - an orb, sceptre and ring - and, if the template of previous coronations is followed, there will be a procession through the capital, featuring the horse-drawn Gold State Coach.

There will also have to be a sensitivity to the cost-of-living pressures facing many people, he says.
