1:41 am
god save the king. the first coronation in almost 70 years. it's seen people the length and breadth of the uk find their own way to mark the historic occasion. from elvis impersonators in ayrshire to punjabi dancers in reading, from choir singers in county antrim to the pembrokeshire horses who are leading the procession in london. a moment to remember and a time to celebrate for many.
1:42 am
buckingham palace in central london, and the mall is the focal point during royal celebrations. preparation for the event has been a long time in the planning. and people have been camping out for days to get a prime spot to watch the monarch en route to westminster abbey. well, i'm here now, iwas inside the house and we are the first persons here. i was here on thursday. we came on the 27th for my friends carol. hello. we got here at 4:00 and round about 6:00. it poured down to the heavens, and we had this tarpaulin and we put that up. it's been miserable and cold and it's horrible. of course, it's our first coronation and we're
1:43 am
in their lifetime. a front row seat at the parade will guarantee good views of this gleaming treasure. this coach will bring charles and camilla from the palace to westminster abbey. well, it's the first time that this carriage has been used at a coronation. it was delivered to queen elizabeth, the second in 2014, and used for the state opening of parliament that year. the interior of this carriage is especially poignant for king charles. it's made from wood, from the grounds of balmoral castle near aberdeen, where the late queen died, aged 96. this coach will be the centrepiece of the much larger and longer procession from westminster abbey back to buckingham palace on coronation day. it's nearly four metres tall. it's over seven metres long. it weighs four tonnes. because of that, it can only be used at a walking pace.
1:44 am
but preparations aren'tjust taking place on the ground. the royal air force have been rehearsing the coronation fly—past over raf cranwell in lincolnshire. hugely important to get it right. he ultimately is our commander in chief. he's been very closely associated with the armed services throughout his time and it's great to be able to put such a spectacle together for his coronation on the sixth. what you've seen today is a smaller version of that, 36 aircraft, but across all three services, and hopefully you've seen the amount of planning that's gone into that. i was very happy with the practice today, the spacing, how it's going to look, the contingencies around the day. scotland plays a key role in the coronation. the stone of destiny, dispatched to westminster abbey from edinburgh castle, was used in the coronation of scottish royalty for hundreds of years, also known as the stone of skin. it was kept in london for seven centuries until the uk government returned it to scotland in 1996. the historicjourney prompted concerns the relic could be a target for campaigners,
1:45 am
so security has been stepped up. the stone has been described rather worryingly as the soul of scotland, and nobody wants to drop that in the floor. so yes, there's been quite a lot of pressure. dumfries house near cumnock in east ayrshire has a long association with charles while prince of wales. he restored it and made it the base for his charity, the prince's foundation. many of the staff here know him and organised a tea dance celebration featuring that other king, elvis. he's a really genuine man. he knows everybody�*s names. dumfries house is the second biggest employer in this area. enthusiasm for the monarchy is lukewarm in many parts of scotland and recent polling suggests scots are divided on its future. so i don't think the pomp and ceremony is needed, especially when we're
1:46 am
struggling so much because the living crisis in the country. i think it's actually quite insensitive. i think he's waited a long time to be king, but he's king. we don't need all the pomp and circumstance. an extra bank quality for- the big check sparkly hat day. the nations and regions of the uk will all contribute to the coronation — in wales, the title, which king charles caddied for so long as prince of wales. this sheer horse will carry the weight of the parade on its shoulders. this horse, now known as major apollo, is a ceremonial drum horse bearing a mounted drummer during ceremonial events. he was involved in the queen's funeral and will feature prominently in king charles�*s procession. his breeders, based in pembrokeshire, couldn't be more proud. the horse leads the procession, and it leads the monks.
1:47 am
it leads a household cavalry regiment band. so trooping the colour when they come down the mile to horse guards parade the term horse, the term horses are at the forefront of that parade. in northern ireland, a new hymn for the coronation of king charles has been recorded by pupils from around 20 schools in county antrim. we've been singing for the king's coalition and we've been practising for a while for it. it's like really sweet and slow and you canjust take your time on it. it's been, like very different, but interesting because like, | it's got old words in it. like though and thee in it. crown gets placed on his head and you get some days off school. choristers will play a big role in the coronation ceremony in westminster abbey in london.
1:48 am
rehearsing with other choirs in the abbey. it'sjust a really nice thing to do. really special. it's going to be exciting to sort of be part of history. it's exciting. it's quite nerve—racking. people across britain love a party and many want to express their excitement for the coronation. in savile row in central london, tailors are hanging up bunting. many of these shops have played a key role in dressing the royal household throughout history. we look after those uniforms, new or old, refurbishing them. maintaining them for the centuries. and, you know, we were actually at the palace recently, putting on the new ciphers, the buttons with new ones, with old ones. and it was lovely to be there. moment in time. in 0undle, northamptonshire, members of the local community have been going crochet, mad, covering the town in yarn. and in devon, this determined nhs worker says he's
1:49 am
walking to the coronation to honour the king. there is not going to be easy, especially with no preparation. yeah, lots of aching muscles and bones. these children in east devon created their very own ornamental headdresses made from recycled materials. thomas spared every expense for his impressive crown. well, look at those milk bottle tops. trim blue lids. the war over gold. apart from the creme brulee, it was daddy's toffee wrappers. and of course, street parties are a big part of any royal event.
1:50 am
people in mayfield are expecting a big turnout. last year, we thought maybe 300 people might turn up and we had a thousand, we think. so we had to run around getting more tables and more chairs. so we are planning for that many this time. and in glasgow, royal enthusiast sheila clarke celebrates the monarchy all year round with a collection of memorabilia that includes over 10,000 photos. she's excited to head to the capital to soak up the atmosphere. going to a live event like the coronation. it's not the same watching on television any more, i think because i've done so many live events that there is an atmosphere there that you cannot capture byjust watching it on television. it's just not the same. you get the buzz around you. we're on ourway over to the mall. the mall they pronounce it over here. of course, the coronation attracts broad interest from across the globe, with many people making their way to the uk to become part of the event.
1:51 am
donna has travelled from connecticut in america to secure her spot on the mall. i'm just happy to be here and be part of history. i mean, this hasn't happened in 70 years and it's like i mean, every time you see pictures of a new monarch, the first thing they show is the day they were crowned. and i mean, for us to be here and see him immediately afterwards. what celebration would be complete without sharing food with family and friends? you might have heard some talk about the coronation quiche. this is it. it was hand—picked by king charles and queen camilla and has been declared the coronations official party food. the recipe video was posted on the royal family's social media accounts. here at luton's guru nanak gurdwara, they are preparing a feast fit for a king. they open the doors to everyone and make 500 meals a day. the king has already popped in. very pleased and surprised to see him. so happy. very happy. and then the handshake.
1:52 am
asking what's this, what's this. a group of british asian women have gone back to their punjabi roots to commemorate the royal occasion in dance. i can remember my mum used to sing these songs while she was doing the housework around the house. i've grown up with them and i'm a huge royalist. i love the royalfamily, so we're all excited for the coronation. and of course, no royal celebration would be complete without the right decor. and these birmingham schoolchildren have been hard at work. we've been doing bunting for the king's coronation, and he likes flowers. so we did a flower theme. i've been using the needle and thread to put it through the flowers, and also we put them in the bunting and then it makes them look like this.
1:53 am
the preparations will culminate in the coronation of the king. of course, with many looking forward to this historic moment with excitement, whether they'll be watching along the route or at home, one thing is certain lots of preparation will have gone into this day and many people across the uk will be marking this moment with song, food and dance.
1:54 am
hello there. the coronation is almost here and the heavy showers that we had on friday, those have been fading away. we had some late in the day lovely rainbows, but earlier on, there was a lot of thunder and lightning. those have pushed clear, but we need to look to the south now into the english channel. this is where our weather is now coming from, the cloud thickening up and these weather fronts will bring some rain. so this is the forecast for the coronation in central london. looks cloudy, there'll be some rain from time to time. temperatures are not going to be as high as the 20 celsius that we had on friday. we start with ten degrees in london first thing on saturday, seven or eight further north, just one of two showers left over here. but we've got this patchy rain here developing in southern england, moving steadily northwards into wales, the midlands, eventually into east anglia and lincolnshire.
1:55 am
for northern england, scotland, northern ireland, some sunny spells breaking out, but also some heavy showers developing. in between those heavy showers in the sunshine, temperatures could reach 17 or 18 degrees under the cloud and the rain across england and wales nearer 1a or 15 celsius. there could be some wet weather into the night as well before finally pushing away out into the north sea. and then we'll see some sunny spells on sunday, but also some showers, more likely to have those showers in scotland and down the eastern side of england. so further west, you may get away with a dry day. with some sunshine around, it should be a bit warmer for most areas. temperatures peaking at 20 or 21 celsius but we've got this patchy rain here developing in southern england, moving steadily northwards into wales, the midlands, eventually into east anglia and lincolnshire. for northern england, scotland, northern ireland, some sunny spells breaking out, but also some heavy showers developing.
