It’s. King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation day!
King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, made their way from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in a parade known as the King’s Procession. Crowds lined the streets to see the new monarch as he made his way through London.
Queen Camilla wore a dress designed by Bruce Oldfield and created in the designer’s couture workrooms in Battersea, London.
The royal couple rode to Westminster Abbey in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, a horse-drawn carriage that was commissioned to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s 60th anniversary of acceding the throne in 2012. Six horses — Windsor Greys — pulled the coach on the way to the coronation: Icon, Shadow, Milford Haven, Echo, Knightsbridge and Tyrone.
The carriage departed Buckingham Palace through the Centre Gate and proceeded down The Mall, passing through Admiralty Arch and south of King Charles I Island, down Whitehall and along Parliament Street before they arrived at Westminster Abbey, where the coronation began at 10 a.m.
