DARK SECRETS: Are shops open on the day of the king s coronation | Rare Historical Photos

Celebrations will take place across the UK and beyond as King Charles' Coronation gets underway on Saturday, May 6.

Thousands of spectators will flock to London to catch a glimpse of the King and Coronation Processions, while a further 2,200 hand-picked guests will attend the ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Coronation garden parties and Big Lunches will take place in neighbours throughout Britain during the three-day weekend.

A special Coronation Concert will take place at Windsor Castle on Sunday, May 7, while Monday, May 8, has been declared a bank holiday. It means we have three long weekends to enjoy this May - Monday, May 1 was the May Day bank holiday, there is an extra Monday off for the Coronation and then Monday, May 29 is the spring bank holiday.
