King Charles III’s coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6.
The coronation will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and it “will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.”
Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will arrive at Westminster Abbey in procession from Buckingham Palace, known as “The King’s Procession”, and they will be joined by 2,000 guests.
The guest list includes members of the Royal Family, foreign royals, celebrities, and politicians.
More than 850 community and charity representatives from across the UK have also been invited to the King’s coronation.
Check out the confirmed guest list so far below:
