What to expect from King Charles III’s coronation ceremony

King Charles III’s coronation will take place on Saturday 6 May at Westminster Abbey in London.

But what will happen during the event, which will be watched by millions across the world?

The ceremony - which last took place in June 1953 for Queen Elizabeth II - will include a recognition, coronation oath, anointing and investiture.
