The Royal Navy is particularly proud of His Majesty's time spent in the service in the 1970s that included flying helicopters with 845 Naval Air Squadron and commanding the minesweeper HMS Bronington. If you're heading to a street party or a Big Lunch on Sunday, the day will start off dry and bright in many western areas, but cloudier with some rain and drizzle in the east. Western and central parts of the UK are expected to have a mainly fine, warm and dry day with sunny spells, which will eventually spread to all areas.
The Coronation Medal will act as a reminder of the important part each person has played in this moment of history. From our Armed Forces who protect our country to the emergency services who care for us at home, alongside those volunteers who are giving up their time to make this event so special, I am delighted that we can mark their contribution to this special day, and for each and every day that they go above and beyond serving their country. His Majesty The King today presented the Royal Navy with new Colours – the most sacred standard in the Naval Service.Met Office Chief Meteorologist Matthew Lehnert said: "An area of rain is expected to move into southwest England early on Saturday, moving northeast through the day with some heavy bursts at times. This is likely to bring some rain to London from mid-morning. Further north in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland it will be a day of sunshine and showers before the more persistent rain moves northwards overnight. Under the cloud and rain, temperatures will be subdued with 16 °C in London, whilst 20 °C is likely in sunnier northwest Scotland." The King’s Body Guard for Scotland, the Royal Company of Archers: 1 Officer, an Officer bearing the Colour with 2 escorts, 12 Archers, 1 Officer.
From the King's favourite flowers to a look at what featured in Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation bouquet, here's everything we know so far... King Charles III's Coronation flowers: what you need to know During the Coronation Service, the Sword Belt is placed around the Supertunica. The Jewelled Sword of Offering is then 'girded' or fastened at the Sovereign's waist using the Sword Belt. The Archbishop presents the Sword to the Monarch while saying that it should be used for the protection of good and the punishment of evil. The Sword is then removed and placed on the altar in the Abbey, before the Sovereign is invested with the Imperial Mantle. The Queen Consort’s Ring, a ruby in a gold setting, was made for the Coronation of King William IV and Queen Adelaide in 1831, and has been used by three further Queens; Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The Coronation will be the BBC’s most accessible live event ever on BBC iPlayer. Viewers will be able to watch with subtitles, sign language and an alternative commentary version for people with sight loss – delivered live on iPlayer. King Charles III's Coronation will take place tomorrow (Saturday 6th May), but what flowers can we expect the green-fingered monarch to choose for the ceremony?Historically the Sword Belt is supplied new by the Worshipful Company of Girdlers for each Coronation. His Majesty has chosen to reuse the Sword Belt made for the Coronation of his grandfather, King George VI, in 1937. Kate Phillips, BBC Director of Unscripted, says: “We are incredibly proud to be bringing this moment of major historical significance and celebration to viewers at home and internationally. Over the next nine days, with our coverage of the Coronation and then Eurovision, we will be delivering the biggest week of live programming since 2012. Both events showcase the unique role that the BBC plays in the lives of millions. Our highly talented and skilled teams will once again be delivering unforgettable shows of significant scale. Making use of the multiple media platforms and invaluable expertise across the BBC, we will be bringing people together like never before throughout the UK.” The King reused historic items of clothing from the Royal Collection, worn by previous Monarchs at past Coronations. The ‘vestments’ were worn as His Majesty was crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Coronation Chair.
