Londoners up in the early hours of Wednesday morning were treated to a full dress rehearsal of King Charles’ coronation procession—including five RCMP members riding just ahead of the gold state coach that will carry the King and Queen Consort to Buckingham palace after Saturday’s ceremony.
The rehearsals began after midnight and culminated in a 3 a.m. procession down the Mall—the road to Buckingham Palace—which is already draped with flags and lined with metal barricades ahead of the coronation.
