welcome to london where we have a spectacular view of the city on this historic urination day. countdown to an event that many of us will be seeing for the first time in our lives. and will not soon forget. moments ago, we saw king charles iii and queen camilla arriving at westminster abbey, where they operate a start of ceremonies, officially counting them as the new monarch. we expect to see charles and camilla very soon, kicking off this remarkable celebration. dignitaries including first lady joe biden have been gathering at westminster abbey, whether coronation will be taking place. charles taking center stage, after the death of his mother queen elizabeth the second and 70 years after she herself was crowned. crowds gathered to get a glimpse of the king and queen as they make their way from here, buckingham palace, two westminster abbey in a gilded carriage called the diamond jubilee state coach polled by windsor grey horses. the kings procession will depart bucking
on the way back, it s going to be around 4000. they have been arriving by train, most of them from all over. very early this morning. late last night. they have been rising all night. this is a huge moment. you have to remember. the king has many different roles. he is head of the church. we see that reflected today. he is up ahead of the armed forces. so there are paying their respects to the head of the armed forces. the person that they praise their allegiance. too very much a military moment, stage moment, church moment as. well interesting, as sally said this is one of the most extravagant events in any country s life. although there are lots of crown heads of europe, and even king abdullah of jordan and queen ron, yeah no other nation does a coronation like this. they ve just chosen not to. they don t do it. they probably couldn t put that show on.
