People are being encouraged to ‘support their local areas’ in a drive to mark the three-day celebration in May
King Charles III will be crowned on May 6 at Westminster Abbey.Britons will be encouraged to spend a day volunteering in their communities to mark the King’s coronation. The Big Help Out will take place on Monday 8 May and is intended to create a “lasting legacy” of the coronation weekend.
Details of the volunteering drive were announced as part of plans to mark the King’s coronation weekend, which include street parties, drone displays and a concert at Windsor Castle featuring “global music icons”. It is part of a concerted effort by Buckingham Palace to portray Charles as a more modern monarch.
Ahead of the coronation, the King and Queen Consort will arrive together in procession from Buckingham Palace. Afterwards they will return to the palace in a coronation procession, joined by other members of the royal family. The day will culminate with an appearance of the royals on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
A coronation concert that night will be broadcast live from Windsor Castle by the BBC, which the palace says will bring together “global music icons” and “contemporary stars”. Details of the artists have yet to be announced but there will also be a “world-class orchestra” playing interpretations of musical favourites, the palace said, as well as spoken word and dance performances.
