Police arrived on motorbikes ahead of the royal motorcade, and King Charles was seen waving from a car window as they arrived. Large crowds of onlookers gathered at the roadsides and at a metal barrier outside the monastery in the pouring rain to take a look at the royals. Millions of people across the UK and around the world prepare to witness the coronation of King Charles III, a symbolic celebration that combines religious ceremony and pageantry.
Thorough security preparations
Security preparations in Britain are at their highest to ensure the royal event ends without a breach.
According to these preparations, snipers will be deployed on rooftops, in addition to activating air cover techniques and facial recognition. More than 11,000 police will be present, in addition to tactical firearms units, machine guns and pistols, and there will be armed response vehicles on standby. Senior officers plan to use facial recognition technology for the first time to identify suspects who may try to mingle with the gathered crowd. Air cover will be provided by three twin-engine Airbus helicopters from the Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit, supported by aircraft from other forces.
