What is a coronation?

A coronation is both the symbolic religious ceremony during which a sovereign is crowned and the physical act of placing a crown on a monarch's head.

It formalises the monarch's role as the head of the Church of England and marks the transfer of their title and powers.

What happens at a coronation?

Coronations have remained much the same for more than 1,000 years. The British ceremony is the only remaining event of its type in Europe.

However, Buckingham Palace has said that although the coronation will be "rooted in long-s

tanding traditions", it will also "reflect the monarch's role today and look towards the future".
