King Charles III’s coronation ceremony. The British family’s official Twitter account shared a 40-second glimpse of the decorated London royal church Friday evening, simply writing: “Westminster Abbey is ready for the #Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.”The impressive clip shows off gorgeous flower displays in the empty building with the Great West Window in the distance.
The foliage formations are made of rosemary, birch, bay and hazel and wild broom, according to the Daily Mail.

The in-season plants will be donated to Floral Angels — a charity that Camilla, 75, is a patron of — which repurposes arrangements into bouquets to send off to care homes, hospices and shelters.
