For example, on May 7 there will be a special concert at Windsor Castle that will be produced and broadcast live by the BBC. It is not yet known who will perform, but according to Buckingham Palace it will be a combination of “international music icons and contemporary artists”. Also playing is a ‘world-class’ orchestra, accompanied by ‘some of the greatest entertainers and dancers’.
Several thousand British people can get two free tickets for the concert through a lottery. The Coronation Choir will also be on stage: singers from, among others, refugee, LGBTI and sign language choirs.
People from all over the United Kingdom are called upon to organize a so-called Coronation Big Lunch on May 7. The initiative should combat loneliness and make friendships flourish. A day later, people are called upon to dedicate themselves to their fellow man during The Big Help Out; charities hold activities where Brits can help and do something for the community.
Westminster Abbey
Earlier it was announced that Charles will be crowned on May 6 in Westminster Abbey in London. The service contains religious aspects and traditions. King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla arrive in a procession, known as The King’s Procession, from Buckingham Palace.
After the service, the royal couple will also return there, together with the rest of the royal family. At the end of the day, the royal family greets the public from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
