A few hours before the coronation of King Charles III, the final details of the ceremony were finalized on Friday, May 5, in London (United Kingdom).

Friday, May 5, in London (United Kingdom), Charles III visited the fans one last time, to cries of joy, before his long-awaited coronation. Some Britons pitched their tent nearly a week ago to secure the best spot and get a ringside seat. “I’ve been here since Monday, I’ve been to many royal events. I think this is the most important one I’m going to attend”says a woman.

A completely cordoned off area

“I didn’t think there was going to be so much enthusiasm, it’s impressive”, comments a Frenchman present in London. Away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds, in the quiet of Westminster Abbey, the final details are ironed out. For the occasion, hundreds of flowers from all over the UK are arranged. The last rehearsals took place in a completely cordoned off area, ready to welcome heads of state and sovereigns from all over the world.
