Military out for midnight rehearsals of royal procession ahead of King Charles and Camilla's coronationMilitary out for midnight rehearsals of royal procession ahead of King Charles and Camilla's coronationLate in the night, members of the British military gathered for a rehearsal for the coronation procession of King Charles III and Camilla.abc.net.
King Charles and Camilla were not present for the rehearsal, nor were the carriages that will take them from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey and back again. They will be taken to Westminster Abbey in the Australian-made Diamond Jubilee State Coach and will then return through the same route in the 260-year-old Gold State Coach.
Dressed in military attire, the cavalcade practised its route to and from Westminster Abbey via Parliament Square, along Whitehall, around Trafalgar Square, through Admiralty Arch and along The Mall and the end of which stands Buckingham Palace. About 400 armed forces personnel from at least 35 Commonwealth countries including Australia will join the procession of around 6,000 representatives of the British military on the day.
