Coronation of Charles III: before the event, little hands are busy

As the United Kingdom prepares to move into royal time, behind the scenes, we are busy. Parades, costumes, big ceremony, the tasks are not lacking. Each rehearsal, each preparation takes on the air of countdown. “They must be stressed but they are going to be awesome. To be part of a celebration like this must be magical“, commented a resident. Before the military parade, in a renowned tailor’s back shop, the designers ensure that the coronation will go off without a hitch. They had hundreds of suits to darn before the ceremony. Some outfits are even centuries old.

38,000 churches appealed for volunteers

Further, for other Britons, participating in the coronation ceremony was far from obvious. This is the case of amateur bell ringers. The country’s 38,000 churches have appealed for volunteers for this task. Others prepare their voices for the coronation. A composer is moved by the last rehearsal of a children’s choir. A hundred choirs will perform across the country for the occasion.
