BREAKING: The King has arrived at Westminster for a celebratory reception ahead of his coronation this weekend. The PM and Sir Keir Starmer will join for the event, where the King will be introduced to members of the Houses of Parliament. 📺 Sky 501
More than 8,000 guardsmen, officers and bands of the Household Division have been rehearsing for the coronation procession.Here's why Seargent Major Andrew Stokes has called it"an absolute challenge"... The route the King and Queen Consort will take to and from the coronation was revealed earlier this year - as well as the two very different coaches they will travel in.
It is thought the King and Queen Consort may have chosen to limit the use of the older coach because both have suffered from back pain, though the Palace declined to comment. The invitation was mocked by some on social media and branded"tone deaf" by anti-monarchy pressure group Republic. They expect to pour 62 million pints in three days, according to figures from the British Beer and Pub Association .
The chief executive of BBPA, Emma McClarkin, said she hoped the coronation would be an example of one"iconic British institution" supporting another. Augmented reality will allow smartphone users across the globe to hold the King and Queen Consort's crowns in their own hands. "You know what you're getting because he's been practicing for a bit, and I don't think he'll change," Princess Anne told CBC at St James's Palace.The monarchy's transition has brought with it discussions about its relevance in the 21st century, which the princess said was"not a conversation that I would necessarily have".
Prince George is one of eight Pages of Honour for the coronation service and the children are later expected to appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony.The first royal event to kick off coronation celebrations this week is a reception in the Palace of Westminster, which will be attended by the King and the Queen Consort today.
