Another historic day is upon us as King Charles III Coronation takes place on Saturday (May 6). The former Prince of Wales and his wife Camilla will officially be crowned King and Queen in a Westminster Abbey ceremony months after the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The official ceremony will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury before the day will end with members of the royal family appearing on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.
