Soldiers from more than 30 Commonwealth countries will join thousands of British armed forces to mark the crowning of King Charles.
About 5000 members of the British armed forces will participate in the coronation of King Charles next month, joined by soldiers from more than 30 Commonwealth countries to form one of the largest ceremonial military operations in decades.
Gun salutes will sound out across the country to mark the moment the king is crowned, before military personnel later conduct a flypast of more than 60 aircraft. The coronation comes less than eight months after huge crowds thronged London to witness the grand processions and ceremonies marking the funeral of Queen Elizabeth who died after 70 years on the throne.
