queen mary's crown which contains some of these diamonds. she will also hold the queen consort�*s rod which is made of ivory. they will process from the abbeyjust which is made of ivory. they will process from the abbey just as which is made of ivory. they will process from the abbeyjust as queen elizabeth did for the return journey to the palace, and for that, they will board this, the 18th—century gold state coach. it weighs four tonnes and it's notoriously uncomfortable. the king and queen may be relieved that theirjourney back to the palace, escorted by military detachments, will be on the a quarter of the length of that undertaken by queen elizabeth in 1953. railstaff undertaken by queen elizabeth in 1953. rail staff have done their best to make the gold coach as comfortable as possible. back at buckingham palace, there will be a rail salute and an appearance on the palace balcony although that hasn't been confirmed. one innovation, the palace has launched a new emoji to mark the coronation, a ceremony rooted in history with at least one modern touch.

a few of the details, not all of them, of course. i'm joined now by kelly swaby in huddersfield who's a royal historian, having extensively covered the british royal family through her social media work. which we have just heard is very relevant, but let's start with the journey, first of all, the key thing is it is a shorterjourney and this reflects in a way that fact that king charles is a lot older than his mother was at the time that she came to the throne. the mother was at the time that she came to the throne-— to the throne. the queen's “ourney from westminster * to the throne. the queen's “ourney from westminster abbey _ to the throne. the queen's journey from westminster abbey lasted - to the throne. the queen's journey i from westminster abbey lasted hours in 1953, and as nicholas witchell said, that coaches are notoriously bumpy, no monarch has ever enjoyed writing in the carriage, citing the king will be relieved, he 7a years old and i think he will be thankful for much shorter route a stop to think nevertheless, his mind will be more but the crowd waving at ten on coronation day.

numbers. elizabeth had about 8200. this coming that may cast member will be in 2000. it will be smaller and shorter but that's also a nod to the fact that it is going to be broadcast to a much more media savvy era, so i don't think we would expect it to run to the time it did 1953. , , . ., expect it to run to the time it did 1953. , , .., , ., 1953. they feel they can shorten these journeys _ 1953. they feel they can shorten these journeys with _ 1953. they feel they can shorten these journeys with perhaps i 1953. they feel they can shorten i these journeys with perhaps feeling people may experience that in person. quite a bit of regalia, isn't there, in terms ofjewels and someone. isn't there, in terms of “ewels and someone. , . ., someone. there is indeed. it could be because — someone. there is indeed. it could be because it's _ someone. there is indeed. it could be because it's been _ someone. there is indeed. it could be because it's been such - someone. there is indeed. it could be because it's been such a - someone. there is indeed. it could be because it's been such a long i be because it's been such a long time since — be because it's been such a long time since we _ be because it's been such a long time since we have _ be because it's been such a long time since we have seen- be because it's been such a long time since we have seen these l time since we have seen these items and they— time since we have seen these items and they have — time since we have seen these items and they have been at _ time since we have seen these items and they have been at the _ time since we have seen these items and they have been at the jewel- and they have been at the jewel house _ and they have been at the jewel house and — and they have been at the jewel house and the _ and they have been at the jewel house and the tower— and they have been at the jewel house and the tower of- and they have been at the jewel| house and the tower of london. and they have been at the jewel- house and the tower of london. we have some remarkable _ house and the tower of london. we have some remarkable treasures i house and the tower of london. we have some remarkable treasures inl have some remarkable treasures in the tower— have some remarkable treasures in the tower and — have some remarkable treasures in the towerand i'm _ have some remarkable treasures in the tower and i'm glad _ have some remarkable treasures in the tower and i'm glad that- have some remarkable treasures in the tower and i'm glad that on- the tower and i'm glad that on coronation _ the tower and i'm glad that on coronation day— the tower and i'm glad that on coronation day we _ the tower and i'm glad that on coronation day we are - the tower and i'm glad that on coronation day we are going i the tower and i'm glad that on| coronation day we are going to the tower and i'm glad that on- coronation day we are going to see them _ coronation day we are going to see them and — coronation day we are going to see them and the _ coronation day we are going to see them. and the thing _ coronation day we are going to see them. and the thing that— coronation day we are going to see them. and the thing that many- coronation day we are going to see them. and the thing that many of. coronation day we are going to see i them. and the thing that many of us don't _ them. and the thing that many of us don't see _ them. and the thing that many of us don't see often, _ them. and the thing that many of us don't see often, the _ them. and the thing that many of us don't see often, the crown _ them. and the thing that many of us don't see often, the crown which i them. and the thing that many of usj don't see often, the crown which the monarch— don't see often, the crown which the monarch is— don't see often, the crown which the monarch is crowned _ don't see often, the crown which the monarch is crowned with _ don't see often, the crown which the monarch is crowned with as - don't see often, the crown which the monarch is crowned with as they- don't see often, the crown which the monarch is crowned with as they siti monarch is crowned with as they sit on saint— monarch is crowned with as they sit on saint edward's— monarch is crowned with as they sit on saint edward's chair, _ monarch is crowned with as they sit on saint edward's chair, that - monarch is crowned with as they sit on saint edward's chair, that sits. on saint edward's chair, that sits in the _ on saint edward's chair, that sits in the tower— on saint edward's chair, that sits in the tower of—

the scouts and girl guiding uk. the bbc did speak to one of the younger champions at only 15 years old was helping his community and blackburn, especially the older communities and the vulnerable people there. he was doing all of it while he had leukaemia, fighting to be a personal challenge and still going beyond himself. the way he described it was that he felt he was getting so much support because of his illness and that he felt he needed to get back to his own community. there was also another person that the bbc spoke to, she was the first female president of the national black police association. and she has received one of those coveted invites. she explained why it is so important that she received the invite and what she hopes to be able to represent. brute invite and what she hopes to be able to represent-— sound from her. you don't see very many people _ sound from her. you don't see very many people like — sound from her. you don't see very many people like me _ sound from her. you don't see very many people like me in _ sound from her. you don't see very many people like me in suffix i sound from her. you don't see very| many people like me in suffix being awarded _ many people like me in suffix being awarded for the work that they do.

reflective. he also has it reflected in the official coronation logo, which was actually designed by sir johnny ive, who is in typically someone who you would associate with a royal coronation. he typically designs things like apple ipads and apple, he was very closely related to steve jobs�*s apple, he was very closely related to stevejobs�*s best known products. but here he reflected the kings love of the environment with several symbols that also represent the nations that represent the united kingdom. we nations that represent the united kinudom. ~ . ., nations that represent the united kinudom. ~ nations that represent the united kinadom.~ kingdom. we will come back you with those issues — kingdom. we will come back you with those issues shortly. _ kingdom. we will come back you with those issues shortly. we _ kingdom. we will come back you with those issues shortly. we have - those issues shortly. we have touched on the subject as to who is invited in terms of the general public. what about the royal family? that's interesting. firstly, it's commit— that's interesting. firstly, it's commit such as this royal family. traditionally, this goes back centuries, they didn't invite other monarchs — centuries, they didn't invite other monarchs to the coronation. there was a _ monarchs to the coronation. there was a bit _ monarchs to the coronation. there was a bit of— monarchs to the coronation. there was a bit of a superstition in tradition— was a bit of a superstition in tradition that there was only one monarch — tradition that there was only one monarch. and we now know that the

know of yet. and we also don't know, although it has been hinted, that it will be an anglican service. it will be presided over by the archbishop of canterbury, and in the same way, as elizabeth ii's funeral was very much an anglican service, it is also expected to incorporate some of the other denominations in britain at the moment. so in terms of the specifics, no, buti the moment. so in terms of the specifics, no, but i think we can be fairly confident that we will see may be some inclusion for the catholic and evangelical immunities that we saw at elizabeth ii's funeral, but nothing confirmed as of yet. funeral, but nothing confirmed as of et. ., , ., , funeral, but nothing confirmed as of et. ., ,., , ., funeral, but nothing confirmed as of et. ., , ., ., yet. there also might be a point of contention. we _ yet. there also might be a point of contention. we will _ yet. there also might be a point of contention. we will come - yet. there also might be a point of contention. we will come to - yet. there also might be a point of contention. we will come to that l yet. there also might be a point of| contention. we will come to that in a moment. talking about some of the other celebrations which are going on in the english county temperature. they been making ceramics for rail events, and with just a month to go into the king's coronation, they are getting ready to mark the event in style.

the company was started by my father. we've been in business 75 years, nearly. we mainly produce china beakers, china plates, commemorative ware for celebrations. it's a special occasion, and it's an honour and a privilege to do something for the coronation and for the king. and it's a souvenir, something to keep forever, really. i'm john french, i've been a ceramic craftsman for nearly 40 years. - i decided to make for the coronation a piece that incorporates _ all the skills that i've used over the last 40 years. _ the picture here that i've actually painted on, - this is actually the welsh guard |uniform, so i thought it's quite| good to get that transition from him l being the prince of wales to now. becoming the monarch. it's a part of history. i think that's the thing - about ceramics, it marks those special occasions in history, so it's a great chance for us| to produce these beautiful pieces. we're in middleport pottery. we are the last transfer

printers in the world. and in 2010, one of his majesty the king's charities stepped in to preserve, regenerate this building, using millions of pounds of funds that were gathered. so the king really did save this pottery back then and it was so important to us, and that's why we're so grateful. so, for the coronation, we are producing a book, which is going to be a gift to give to the king himself. that book is a transferrers decorator's book, so it's a bit like a pattern book which our decorators would have in the factory over there. each one tells a story of our unique historic patterns, where to cut them and where to place them, and it acts as a bit of a guide for them. we've been making coronation designs since 1902, with the very first piece dating back to king edward vii, king charles�*s great—great—grandfather. the pieces go right through to 1937, to the coronation that never

was for king edward viii. and then, in more contemporary times, under the design stewardship of walter moorcroft, to 1953, with the coronation of queen elizabeth ii. we use a technique called tube lining. everything's made by hand. each piece takes at least a week to make, from start to finish. it's an honour, every piece of moorcroft that i work with and with the people that we work with, it's an honour. but forthe king, i mean, that is an amazing achievement and something that i will remember for the rest of my life, really. that was a report by liz cooper. a reminder, is that not that this is a party for the whole nation. it is. a party for the whole nation. it is, and that is — a party for the whole nation. it is, and that is something _ a party for the whole nation. it is, and that is something that - a party for the whole nation. it is, and that is something that the king and that is something that the king and the _ and that is something that the king and the planners have been very mindful— and the planners have been very mindful of, that they wanted to be as well— mindful of, that they wanted to be as well as — mindful of, that they wanted to be as well as a national event, things like this, — as well as a national event, things like this, there is also this idea that— like this, there is also this idea that we —

before the week is out. notjust wet, it's going to be windy at times. some of the windiest conditions will be through tuesday and into wednesday around some of these western areas. gusts of wind maybe up to 60mph. bear that in mind, if you've got any of this week under canvas or if you're on the move. now, the change to the more unsettled and changeable conditions has already started, this weather front pushing eastwards overnight into the morning, bringing outbreaks of rain for all. through the morning, some of the wettest conditions will be across the south and east of the uk. quite abundant rain to begin with, but don't write your day off, sunshine will come out. there'll be a scattering of showers across the country through the day, showers most frequent through the afternoon, northern england and northern ireland, as well as the highlands of scotland. winds going into a more westerly direction through into the afternoon, gusty in the south, it will make it feel a bit cooler for some of you compared with today, but for the likes of east of scotland, it'll actually feel a bit warmer with a bit more sunshine. now, as we go into tuesday morning, we'll see showers gradually fade away overnight, and it will be a chilly start to tuesday. only 1—2 showers continuing,

and we'll get used to some colder nights through this week at times. but actually, a reasonably pleasant day for some on tuesday. to the north and east of the country, save just 1—2 isolated showers, a lot of dry weather, some will stay dry throughout the day. to the south and the west, though, make the most of the morning brightness because the afternoon turning cloudier, wetter, and also windier, gales in the southwest before the day is out. temperatures again dropping just a little bit. and that brings us into our windiest spell of weather this week, tuesday night into wednesday, deepening area of low pressure pushing across, a pretty wet night through the uk to take us through tuesday night into wednesday. the rain persisting in parts of northeast scotland with some snow over the mountains as we go through wednesday. but south of that, we'll see a mixture of sunshine, heavy thundery showers with hail mixed in, as well. a little bit of brightness here and there. but it's going to be a windy day across the board with winds touching 50—60mph as i said, in the south. and that will make it feel distinctly cool. those windy conditions will last as we go through wednesday night and into thursday. that low pressure gradually pulls away, but another wet and windy low

hits the south on friday. take care.
