King Charles' coronation will take place next month, with preparations underway for the historic occasion. King Charles ascended the throne in September following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II.
During the coronation, which will be held at Westminster Abbey, he will officially be crowned as a monarch, alongside his wife Camilla.
The coronation will be Britain's first in 70 years. The Queen herself was just 25 years old when she was crowned at a ceremony in Westminster Abbey on 2 June, 1953.
When his coronation takes place this spring King Charles will be 74, making him the oldest person to be crowned in British history.
