It was just the case at the Queen’s coronation in 1953, a bank holiday will give people across the country a chance to gather to celebrate. It will drop across the UK’s Four Nations on Monday 8 May, following the coronation on Saturday 6 May. The coronation will take place in Westminster Abbey, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. It is set to be shorter and more modest than previous ceremonies, with some suggesting it will last an hour, and will see King Charles crowned alongside his wife Camilla, the Queen’s consort. The palace has said the ceremony would “reflect the monarch’s role today and look to the future”, while remaining “rooted in long traditions and stateliness”. By comparison, the Queen’s coronation on 2 June 1953 lasted three hours with a congregation of 8,000 dignitaries. Rishi Sunak, already the king’s second in command since he took the throne in September, said: “The coronation of a new monarch is a unique moment for our country. “In recognition of this historic occasion, I am delighted to announce an additional bank holiday for the whole of the UK next year. “I look forward to seeing people come together to celebrate and pay tribute to King Charles III by participating in local and national events across the country in his honour.”
