King Charles will be crowned in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London today. The King will be crowned alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby.

Millions of people are expected to flock to central London (and other royal residences, including Windsor Castle, where a special Coronation Concert featuring sets from pop stars Katy Perry and Lionel Richie will take place on Sunday May 7) to witness the historic event, and to celebrate the crowning of the new monarch.

This will be the first British coronation since that of Queen Elizabeth II, the King's mother, in 1953. The late Queen died in September of last year.

If you're tuning into the historic occasion from the US, broadcasters including ABC News, CNN and Fox News will all be broadcasting live from the Coronation ceremony in London.

Meanwhile, a row is brewing after UK news organisations were told they would have to pay a a six-figure sum between them for access to the BBC's image despite foreign media getting it at no extra cost.

What time does the Coronation start?

The Coronation starts at 11am in the UK (6am ET/3am PT/5am CT) and will last around two hours, although televised coverage is expected to last throughout the day. Broadcast coverage is scheduled to kick off from around 5am ET (2am PT/4am CT).

There will be huge military parades and processions through London on the day, with the King and Queen – and other Royal family members, including the Duke of Sussex (although Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will stay at home in California) – dressed in ceremonial outfits and carrying out a number of traditional rites to mark the occasion.
