Coronation ceremony in England

Before the coronation of King Charles III in England, the streets, workplaces and public spaces of London are decorated for the ceremony, while citizens show great interest in items produced especially for the coronation ceremony.

Preparations for the coronation ceremony on May 6 can be seen everywhere in the capital, London. Celebrations and entertainment will take place across the country on May 6 and 7, known as “coronation weekend,” and on May 8, the official holiday.
