An estimated 1.2 million people are waiting to line the road
of London this Saturday for King Charles III’s Coronation.
Admirers of the Royal Family will travel worldwide, hoping to see the new monarch travelling along the March route.

The government has warned people to expect thoroughfare closures and large rabble on the day, as it discloses a detailed route map, including nearby stations and attainable viewing points.
People have been craving not to arrive at the observation areas before 6 am when they open, but it is still being determined whether the die-hard fan camping along the Mall since last week will be a query to move along.
The parade route will include first aid points, toilets, water refill stations, welfare points, and food and drink stands.
It also shows information stands, accessible observation areas for disabled onlookers and where Victoria and Charring Cross stations are about the route.
What are the best viewing spots?
Viewing mark will be set up along both sides of the crowning march route – which will see the King and Queen Consort quit from Buckingham Palace, moving down The Mall via Admiralty Arch.
