King Charles III's coronation to be held in May next year

King Charles III's coronation is to be held in May next year.

Camilla, the Queen Consort, will be alongside the King and will also be crowned in the historic ceremony.

King Charles became monarch when his mother the late Queen died, but the coronation will mark a symbolic celebration of his new reign.

With much pageantry and ritual, the King will be anointed as sovereign and a crown placed on his head.

Next year's coronation will be the first for almost 70 years - the last being for Elizabeth II in June 1953.
