The Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort will be marked with events across the country and a concert at Windsor Castle.

Their Majesties want to encourage people to spend the Coronation Weekend celebrating with friends, families and their communities.

The Coronation Procession

On the morning of Saturday the 6th of May, Their Majesties will travel from Buckingham Palace in The King’s Procession to Westminster Abbey in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach. Created for Queen Elizabeth II to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Her late Majesty’s reign in 2012, the coach has only ever conveyed the Sovereign, occasionally accompanied by the consort or a visiting Head of State.

Their Majesties will arrive at Westminster Abbey in procession from Buckingham Palace, known as ‘The King’s Procession’.

After the Service, Their Majesties will return to Buckingham Palace in a larger ceremonial procession, known as ‘The Coronation Procession’. Their Majesties will be joined in this procession by other Members of the Royal Family.

At Buckingham Palace, The King and The Queen Consort, accompanied by Members of the Royal Family, will appear on the balcony to conclude the day’s ceremonial events.

The Coronation Concert

On Sunday the 7th of May 2023, a special Coronation Concert will be staged and broadcast live at Windsor Castle by the BBC.

The Coronation Emblem

The Coronation Emblem, which will feature throughout May's historic celebrations, pays tribute to The King’s love of the natural world, depicting the flora of the four nations in the shape of St Edward’s Crown.

Created by the internationally revered designer Sir Jony Ive KBE and his creative collective, LoveFrom, the emblem symbolises and celebrates the historic beginning of the new Reign.
