The king, who will be crowned alongside Queen Consort Camilla, will be the 40th monarch to be crowned there since 1066
Millions of people in the UK and beyond are preparing to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. It will be held at Westminster Abbey on May 6 and the King, who will be crowned alongside Queen Consort Camilla, will be the 40th monarch to be crowned there since 1066.
Coronation Day will combine a religious service and a lavish ceremony. It will include customs dating back more than 1,000 years. We recall that the secret operation to crown the new king of Great Britain is called “Golden Ball”.
Here’s how it’s expected to go, according to the BBC:
06:00 h.
Official celebrations will begin with a procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, with viewing areas along the route opening at 06:00 UK time.
The Royal Procession to Westminster Abbey
Public access to venues along The Mall Road and Whitehall Street will be on a first-come, first-served basis, with official screening venues in Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’ Park being directed to them.

Grandstands will be set up outside Buckingham Palace for invited guests, including veterans of the armed forces and NHS and social care workers.
09:45 h.
Just under 200 members of the armed forces – most of the sovereign’s cavalry escort – will take part in the procession to Westminster Abbey. They will start gathering from 09:45 UK time.
Another 1,000 servicemen will line the route, but the whole procession will be much smaller than its 1953 equivalent, when participants included other royal families and Prime Ministers of Commonwealth countries.
10:20 a.m.
The procession will leave at 10.20am UK time, traveling along The Mall Road to Trafalgar Square and then down Whitehall and Parliament Street. It will then turn towards a square in front of Parliament and the Great Sanctuary to reach the Great West Gate of Westminster Abbey.
In a break with tradition, King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will do something unexpected. But what it is, as well as how the whole “Golden Ball” operation will work, you will learn at jenata.blitz.bg
