Thousands of people across Britain will be able to come together to celebrate King Charles's Coronation in public, with big screens set to be installed in towns and cities in all four nations. 

More than 57 locations across the UK, from Bournemouth to Belfast, will be putting up big screens meaning that more than 100,000 people will be able to watch the event in their hometowns. 

Some stand-out locations already confirmed include Cardiff Castle, Belfast City Hall and Picadilly Gardens in Manchester. 

Huge television screens will also be placed in Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’s Park for public viewing in London. Screens in St James’s Park will also show the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday 7 May.  

Commenting on the project, Lucy Frazer, the Culture Secretary, said: "The Coronation will be a magical moment that brings people together to celebrate the best of Britain over a special weekend in May. 

"These big screens, in major locations in towns and cities in the four nations of the UK, will make it easier for everyone to take part and have a memorable experience to mark this exciting and historic event." 

A celebratory weekend of festivities will see local authorities host events including cultural festivals, live music and community workshops.

The investiture ceremony will be followed by a Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday, May 7. Iconic locations across the UK will be lit up using projections, lasers, drone displays and illuminations. 

Thousands of Coronation Big Lunches and street parties will also be held in the UK and across the Commonwealth, with communities coming together to celebrate the occasion. 

And people across Britain are being encouraged to take part in the Big Help Out volunteering scheme on Monday, May 8.

How can you watch the Coronation processions in person? 

Well-wishers can flock to central London to catch a glimpse of the processions as the King and Queen head to Westminster Abbey and return to Buckingham Palace. 

Around 3,800 seats in a specially-built grandstand in front of Buckingham Palace will be offered to veterans, NHS and social care workers, and representatives of charitable organisations with links to The Royal Family. Additionally 354 uniformed cadet forces will be offered the opportunity to watch the Procession at Admiralty Arch. 

There will be viewing areas lining The Mall and Whitehall that have limited capacity and may close before the events begin.

After the ceremony, the 1.3-mile Coronation procession route will take the King and Queen from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace, but avoid large sections of the capital that were taken in during Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 five-mile route.

It will be the reverse of their journey to the Abbey, meaning people who have managed to secure a spot lining the route will see the King twice.

For the journey to the Abbey, the procession will leave Buckingham Palace through the Centre Gate, and proceed down The Mall, passing through Admiralty Arch and along the south side of Trafalgar Square, down Whitehall and along Parliament Street.

It will then travel around the east and south sides of Parliament Square to Broad Sanctuary to arrive at the Sanctuary of Westminster Abbey, where the Coronation Service will begin at 11am.

The return procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace will take the same route in reverse, but be larger in scale.

It will include Armed Forces from across the Commonwealth and the British Overseas Territories, and all Services of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom, alongside The Sovereign’s Bodyguard and Royal Watermen.

Their Majesties will travel back to Buckingham Palace in the Gold State Coach, last seen during the Pageant of the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022.

Further screen sites will be announced in due course.
