The pace of the procession and the publicity surrounding the route mean that protesters could find it easy to target the event.
The Royal Family will be"potential sitting ducks" for protesters during the coronation procession, according to a former head of royal protection.
Dai Davies said the speed of the Gold State Coach creates a"perfect scenario" for those wanting to cause disruption. He said:"The procession moves so slowly, and it's one of the rare occasions where the royals move slowly, and the route is well-publicised." Mr Davies said recent protests at the Grand National and Snooker World Championship will be a real concern for police, adding that they"gave us an indication of what we can expect before, during and after the coronation".He said:"You've got a large area to secure, you have to secure the whole area to stop [protesters] getting on the parade route that the vehicles are going to take.
