It will be tomorrow: the coronation route of King Charles III of England revealed
According to information provided by Buckingham Palace and Lambeth Palace, the official office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, spiritual leader of the Church of England, details of the coronation ceremony to be held tomorrow have been revealed.
The ceremony, which is the first coronation ceremony to be held in the country after 70 years, will be a ceremony that fulfills the details of the Liber Regalis (Royal Book), which is believed to have been prepared in the 13th century.
For the ceremony that will take place tomorrow, King Carlos III will leave Buckingham Palace with his family and soldiers at 10:20 local time and will begin the march of approximately 3 kilometers.
In the part of the ceremony that goes to the church, a procession of 1,400 soldiers will accompany the king. After leaving the palace, the King will first walk down The Mall Street in front of the palace, then pass under Admiralty Arch to reach Trafalgar Square, one of London’s iconic landmarks.
From here, the procession will return to Whitehall Street, where the Prime Minister and some ministries are located, and will arrive at Parliament Square, where the British Parliament is located at the end of the street.
As the procession walks towards Westminster Cathedral, located in the western part of the square, the king and the procession that will take part in the ceremony will enter the cathedral.
THE PUBLIC WILL BE ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE Pledge of Allegiance
For the first time in history, a young man from the church choir will greet the king at the entrance to the cathedral. Pronouncing the welcome phrase here, King Charles said: “I have come to serve, not to be served, as in his name and his example.” He will say. This speech will also be heard by all viewers.
Then the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who leads the ceremony, and some lords will make speeches declaring their appreciation to the king, and the king, to whom the Bible is presented, will take the oath of monarch.
For the first time in history, women priests will also participate in the ceremony, where Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, of Indian origin, will read the letter to the Colossians from the Bible. Among these priests, the Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, will read a passage from the Bible.
BALANCE WITH HOLY OIL
Again, for the first time in history, the king will be blessed with the holy oil prepared in Jerusalem at the ceremony where hymns will be sung in Welsh, Scottish Celtic and Irish Celtic.
In this most intimate part of the ceremony, the King will be shrouded and Archbishop Welby will anoint the King’s hand, forehead and chest with oil.
At the time of the blessing, the king will wear a shroud, a caftan and a cloak, which symbolizes stripping off worldly titles and entering the presence of God. After the consecration, the royal jewels will be delivered to you.
For the first time in history, members of the House of Lords of different faiths will present jewelery to the King, and this will be followed by the coronation of Saint Edward and the king’s enthronement.
The oath of allegiance to the king sitting on the throne will be shown to the public on television and the public will be asked to participate in the oath of allegiance. The king sitting on the throne will also have accessories that symbolize his religious and political power.
THE MUSIC OF THE MOMENT OF BLESSING, THE MUSIC OF THE INSPIRATION OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
In addition to presenting a visual spectacle, the coronation ceremony will also feel like a classical music concert that is enjoyable to listen to.
The most famous piece of the ceremony, which will feature passages from the Bible and different works of classical music, will be “Zadok the Priest” by George Frideric Handel.
The football public is familiar with the work of the prophet Solomon, who describes the proclamation of the king. The piece is also the inspiration for the music of the Champions League.
Works by contemporary classical music composers Tarık O’Regan, Debbie Wiseman and Roxana Panufnik will be performed at the ceremony, as well as works by Johann Strauss, William Boyce, William Byrd, Thomas Weelkes and Orlando Gibbons, who have played for centuries.
THE KING, WHO WENT OUT WITH 1,200 SOLDIERS, WILL RETURN WITH 4,000 SOLDIERS
After the coronation, which will end with the coronation of Queen Camila, the return to Buckingham will begin. The king, who came to the church with 1,400 people, will return to the palace with 4,000 soldiers.
On the way back, the King will wear the Imperial State Crown instead of St Edward’s Crown, while wearing the Imperial Robe. In honor of the king’s coronation, 21 cannons will be fired from 13 points in the country and some military ships.
At the Tower of London and Horse Guards Parade in London, 6 salutes will be fired from 62 guns. After the king returns to the palace from which he came, he will greet the people from the balcony of the palace with his family members.
THE EUROPEAN ROYAL FAMILIES ALSO COMES
Members of the royal families, most of whom have ties to Europe, will not leave England’s King Charles III alone at tomorrow’s coronation ceremony.
Members of the royal family from Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, Sweden and Norway, where the monarchy continues, are among those invited to attend King Charles’ coronation ceremony at the historic Westminster Abbey Church.
A PRECIOUS CONCERT
Various events will take place across the country to celebrate the coronation of King Charles. One of these events will be a magnificent concert at Windsor Castle on May 7, one day after the ceremony, where world-renowned artists will take the stage.
In the concert, which can be followed live in more than 100 countries around the world, names such as the famous American singer Katy Perry, the Italian musician Andrea Bocelli and the American singer-songwriter Lionel Richie will take the stage.
On the other hand, many world-famous British singers such as Adele, Robbie Williams, Elton John and Harry Styles, who are alleged to have declined King Charles’s invitation, announced that they would not participate in the concert.
WHAT WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE QUEEN CROSS IN 1953?
More than 8,000 guests attended Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation ceremony, which lasted 3 hours in 1953, while King Charles’s ceremony is expected to be shorter and smaller. It is known that 2 thousand 200 guests will attend the coronation ceremony of King Carlos.
On the other hand, the Queen’s coronation was the first to be televised live, and more than 20 million people watched it on television. (AA)
