King Charles Coronation | All You Need To Know About The Historic Event

Ahead of King Charles’ Coronation, one of the biggest events of the year, everything has been decided from dress code to transportation to seating plan. On Saturday, King Charles’ official coronation would take place. He immediately ascended the British throne after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in September but the official ceremony would take place on May 6. With Charles, Camilla would also be crowned queen in the ceremony.

Everything you need to know about King Charles Coronation
Before the D day comes, here is what you need to know about the king of England’s coronation day:

The big official event
The King and the Queen Consort would be crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6. The announcement has been shared by Buckingham Palace in October, last year, reported Fox News. The time at which the ceremony would start is around 2:50 pm IST which would be followed by a “much larger in scale” procession back to the Palace, including Armed Forces from across the Commonwealth and the British Overseas Territories alongside the Sovereign’s Bodyguard and Royal Watermen. Their Majesties would travel from Buckingham Palace in the King’s Procession to Westminster Abbey in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, which was created for Queen Elizabeth II to commemorate the 60th anniversary of her reign in 2012.

What will be different at Charles’ coronation?
Even though the official ceremony of Charles’ coronation would continue British tradition, there have been some changes from Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953. Charles’ ceremony would be shorter than Elizabeth’s – roughly an hour long while his mother’s was three hours. The palace has revealed that “2,000 guests” would be from the congregation. Whereas, at the time of Elizabeth’s ceremony about 8,000 people attended the ceremony decades ago. “It will be shorter and simpler than 1953 but absolutely still on the scale and spectacle befitting of sovereignty, history and tradition,” said one of the sources in October, reported by a local UK newspaper.

Is there a bank holiday in view of the coronation?
Last year, the UK government announced that an additional bank holiday will take place to mark the Coronation. The bank holiday will fall on Monday, May 8, following the Coronation ceremony on Saturday, reported The Telegraph. This would be an opportunity for families and communities across the country to come together to celebrate. The public would be joining the Big Help Out initiative, in tribute to the King’s many decades of public service. While announcing the bank holiday, Rishi Sunak said: “The Coronation of a new monarch is a unique moment for our country. In recognition of this historic occasion, I am pleased to announce an additional bank holiday for the whole United Kingdom next year.” Further, added, “I look forward to seeing people come together to celebrate and pay tribute to King Charles III by taking part in local and national events across the country in his honour.”
