King Charles III's coronation date confirmed as 6 May - everything we know about the ceremony

Buckingham Palace has confirmed the coronation of King Charles III will take place in May next year.

Camilla, the Queen Consort, will also be crowned alongside the King.

The Palace said the date was chosen in consultation with the Government, the Church of England and the Royal Household, but no further details have been given on why it was picked.

It remains to be seen how the ceremony will compare to the late Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953, but reports suggest it will be significantly less lavish.
