The British are about to experience a historic moment. Saturday, May 6, Charles III will be officially crowned King of England. An event that comes eight months after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. On the eve of the big day, everything is ready in London.
Ultimate walkabout for King Charles, before his coronation. Handshakes, and for the lucky ones, a few words exchanged with the sovereign. AT the day before the ceremony, Friday May 5, those who made their way to the Mall, next to Buckingham, were able to meet royals, like Prince William and Princess Kate here. A group of tourists take advantage of the last moments of accessibility around the palace, and revel in a taste of the festivities.
3,000 events planned in London
A guide offers tours of London on the history of the royal family. So for him, the coronation is a dream opportunity. “Coronations in this country, we know how to do. The royal family brings us a lot of customers”, he said. Effervescence among adults, but also among the youngest, who for the occasion imagine themselves as kings or queens. AT less than 24 hours from the ceremony, this central London school is celebrating. “The children were so impatient. Every day they came to me asking: ‘Is it the coronation today?’ says Trish Watt, Vice-Principal of Eaton Square School. This weekend in London alone, more than 3,000 events are planned to celebrate the coronation.
