King's Coronation details revealed - including start time, procession route and more
Further details of the King's Coronation in May have been released by Buckingham Palace - including the ceremony start time, the procession route and the priceless Crown Jewels chosen to play a part in the proceedings.
Communities are being encouraged to come together for street parties on the Sunday following the ceremony as part of the 'Big Lunch', while a volunteering drive will take place on the Monday to encourage people to help out in their local communities. King Charles and Queen Camilla will be arriving at the ceremony in a short procession from Buckingham Palace, known as The King’s Procession. After the service, they will return to Buckingham Palace in a larger ceremonial procession alongside members of the Royal Family, known as The Coronation Procession.
The route is understood to have been chosen for practical reasons, being a familiar tried and tested journey for many royal occasions.
