Come and join our Watch Party on Saturday 6th May in the Furness TV Room from 10am. The TV Room will be decorated, there will be photo opportunities with our life-sized cut-out of King Charles and Camilla, and flags for people to take away with them! We'll also provide tea/coffee and some cakes too! If you have your own mug then please bring it along to help us be sustainable :)

The ceremony at Westminster Abbey will start at 11am after the royals arrival in procession from Buckingham Palace. At 2pm (approx), the King's procession begins. Following the procession, which will run for 1.3 miles, the Royal family will gather on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

What happens during a coronation?

There are six basic phases to the coronation: the recognition, the oath, the anointing, the investiture (which includes the crowning), the enthronement and the homage.

During the ceremony, King Charles will swear to uphold the law and the Church of England, be anointed with holy oil, receive the Royal Orb and sceptres and be crowned with the solid gold St Edward's Crown.
