King Charles III and Queen Camilla spotted leaving coronation rehearsal
Guests have begun arriving at Westminster Abbey ahead of the historic coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla.
Dozens poured into the church wearing suits, fascinators, military uniforms and medals and religious clothing.
Among the guests arriving were Dame Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry and the UK’s chief medical officer Sir Chris Whitty.
Royal fans with Union flags and crowns could be seen on trains and in Tube stations from just after 4.30am with The Mall already filled with people eagerly anticipating the King’s procession to Westminster Abbey.
Military bands could be heard practising ahead of the procession while street cleaners were working with precision to ensure the area in front of the palace was ready.
Prince Harry, who is expected to wear a morning suit rather than his military uniform to his father’s coronation, also arrived in the UK a day before the “slimmed-down” affair Saturday, which will see 2,000 guests, including political leaders, members of the royal family, and celebrities, attend.
