The Coronation will take place at Westminster Abbey in London following a procession from Buckingham Palace known as ‘The King’s Procession’. 

After the Service, their Majesties and other members of the Royal Family will return to the palace in a larger ceremonial procession known as ‘The Coronation Procession’, before appearing on the balcony as a finale to the day’s events. 

For those not in the capital, big screens around the country will be showing the event.


Celebrations will also take place throughout the UK over the Bank Holiday Weekend 6 to 8 May 2023.
