Marwa Hassan reports:
The details of King Charles's coronation are starting to emerge as the May 6 date creeps closer.
The latest information is that the procession after the ceremony will be significantly shorter than that of his mother’s in 1953.
The King’s coronation procession is set to stretch only 2km — about a quarter of Queen Elizabeth II’s celebratory journey.
The newly crowned King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will make their way back from Westminster Abbey on a route that has been tried and tested on many royal occasions.
They will travel through Parliament Square, along Whitehall, around Trafalgar Square, through Admiralty Arch, and down The Mall back to Buckingham Palace.
It will be the reverse of their route to the Abbey but much shorter than Queen Elizabeth II’s 8km return expedition around central London, in which the 27-year-old monarch waved to crowds along Piccadilly, Oxford Street, and Regent Street.
The shorter route has been chosen for practical reasons, with a preference for the familiar journey used on many royal occasions, sources say.
