TOPSHOTS - BRITAIN - ROYALS - CORONATION

Well-wishers wearing masks of members of the Royal Family wait along the route of the 'King's Procession', a two kilometres stretch from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, as they wait for Britain's King Charles III and Britain's Camilla, Queen Consort to pass in the Diamond State Coach, in central London, on May 6, 2023 ahead of their coronations. The set-piece coronation is the first in Britain in 70 years, and only the second in history to be televised. Charles will be the 40th reigning monarch to be crowned at the central London church since King William I in 1066. Outside the UK, he is also king of 14 other Commonwealth countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Camilla, his second wife, will be crowned queen alongside him and be known as Queen Camilla after the ceremony.
