King Charles III's coronation will be Britain's first in 70 years
King Charles III became Britain's new monarch in September, following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II. Next summer he will be officially crowned during his coronation.
When is the King's coronation? The ceremony will be held on Saturday May 6 next year, with the Queen Consort being crowned alongside Charles. The coronation will take place in Westminster Abbey, eight months after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. But as the ceremony takes place on a Saturday, the bank holiday will instead be on a weekday. The holiday will take place on Monday May 8, two days after the coronation on Saturday May 6.
The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Oliver Dowden, added: "The coronation combines the sacred and the solemn but it is also celebratory. This bank holiday will once again give people across the United Kingdom the opportunity to come together as families and communities to welcome His Majesty to the throne as we mark this important day in our nation’s long history."
