On the morning of the 3rd (local time), three days before the coronation of King Charles III of England, a rehearsal for a carriage procession was held on the streets of London.

According to reports such as Yonhap News and The Telegraph, thousands of soldiers departed from Buckingham Palace a little following midnight on the same day and moved to Westminster Abbey through Trafalgar Square and the road next to the Prime Minister’s Office.

This is the ‘royal procession’ that Charles III and his wife go for the coronation ceremony.

About three hours later, the ‘Coronation Procession’ departed from Westminster Abbey and arrived in front of Buckingham Palace.

A military band dressed in traditional uniforms led the procession.

About 6,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers participate in the procession at the coronation ceremony.

During the rehearsal on this day, the ‘Golden Carriage’ and ‘Diamond Jubilee Coach’, which King Charles III and his wife rode on the day of the coronation, also appeared.

The Telegraph reported that there were also onlookers at ‘The Mall’, a street connecting Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square, even though it was late at night.

About 15 tents were lined up along this street, set up by “royal fans” and others trying to get a good seat.

John Ruggrey (68), who pitched his first tent here on the 27th of last month, said he had camped every time there was an important royal event for the past 26 years.

Charles III and his wife, Prince William and his wife, and Princess Anne held rehearsals at Westminster Abbey this morning.

Prince William’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, also accompanied them.
