The Coronation is likely to take place in a few months time. An exact date has not yet been given
The Government has confirmed September 19 will be an official UK bank holiday for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. Schools will close and guidance has been issued for employers regarding staff working on that date.
On Saturday, September 10, King Charles was formally proclaimed monarch during an Accession Council. This ceremony held as soon as possible after the death of a reigning sovereign to make a formal announcement of their successor. But while the Accession Council takes place just days after the Queen's death, King Charles' coronation won't take place for several months.
The term coronation is also commonly used to describe the whole ceremony. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place 69 years ago on June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey.
