Coronation rehearsal: A look at the two coaches

[Blackleaf]

The two horse-drawn coaches that will be used at the Coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, have taken centre stage during overnight rehearsals in central London.



The new Sovereign and Consort will initially travel in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in ‘The King’s Procession’ before returning to Buckingham Palace after their crowning – in the magnificent gold State Coach, as part of ‘The Coronation Procession’.

The nighttime rehearsal gives us a foretaste of the real thing on Saturday.

You can tell this is going to be a huge event. It looks like a never ending line of military personnel...
