THE country is set to celebrate the coronation of King Charles on Saturday, May 6.

The official aspect of the coronation will see senior members of the Government and the Church of England attending, alongside Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and other leading members of the Commonwealth.

It will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and take place in London’s Westminster Abbey, as it has for the past 900 years.

Charles will be asked if he will govern the UK and other nations of the Commonwealth, and do so with law and justice.

The route back from the Westminster Abbey ceremony includes Parliament Square, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square, and through Admiralty Arch and down The Mall back to Buckingham Palace.

Once they arrive at the Palace, Charles and Camilla will receive a royal salute from the troops on parade, before stepping out on the balcony for an RAF flypast.

There will be celebrations all weekend including a concert on Sunday with an extra Bank Holiday to mark the event on Monday.
