London is one of the many locations across the country which is set to host big screens of King Charles III’s coronation. The historical moment that will take place on May 6 will be cast on a few screens around the city.
The capital will be the main hub of the upcoming coronation festivities as the city will host the ceremony at Westminster Abbey. The royal church is the same venue in which the late Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation was also held.
