Newly-crowned monarchs King Charles and Queen Camilla made their way back to the Buckingham Palace after their coronation at the Westminster Abbey with a large procession accompanying them. 

Called 'The Coronation Procession' it included 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.

They travelled in the Gold State Coach. The coach, last seen during the Pageant of the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022, was commissioned in 1760 and was first used by King George III, to travel to the State Opening of Parliament in 1762. The coach has been used at every Coronation since that of William IV in 1831. The coach was drawn by eight Windsor Greys and, due to its weight of four tonnes, moved at walking pace.
