ABC News and 'Good Morning America' will have special TV coverage of the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Saturday, May 6, starting at 2 a.m. PT. Here's how to watch:
Jonathan Brady - WPA Pool/Getty Images: The May 6 coronation service will begin at 11 a.m. local time, 6 a.m. ET, and is expected to last around 90 minutes. During the ceremony, Charles will sign an oath pledging to serve the people and will be crowned with the St. Edward's Crown, marking the only time the king will ever wear that specific crown. Camilla will be crowned with the Queen Mary's Crown.
Charles and Camilla will travel in this procession in the Gold State Coach, which has been used in every coronation since 1831. The coach was last used at the Platinum Jubilee for Elizabeth in 2022.: At the end of the procession, Charles and Camilla will receive a royal salute and three cheers from members of the Armed Forces. They will then appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, where they will give their first balcony waves to the public as king and queen.
The rest of the coronation weekend -- which includes a bank holiday in the U.K. on Monday, May 8 -- will include celebrations across the country. Buckingham Palace is encouraging people to host Coronation Big Lunches to celebrate together throughout the weekend. On Sunday night, a coronation concert featuring Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli and others will be held on the grounds of Windsor Castle.The Associated Press and ABC Owned TV Stations contributed to this report.
