Armed forces personnel rehearse their roles as part of the British armed forces' involvement in King Charles III's coronation.  

The troops will escort the monarch from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace after his coronation in London. At an RAF base, sailors, soldiers, aviators from the Royal Navy, the British army, and the Royal Air Force, as well as musicians, and members of the Commonwealth armed forces take part in a display of pageantry to honor their new commander-in-chief. The rehearsal allowed over 7,000 service personnel to come together for the first time ahead of the event that will take place on May 6.

Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh leaders will take part in various aspects of the coronation, the Archbishop of Canterbury’s office said Saturday, as it revealed details of a service it described as an act of Christian worship that will reflect contemporary society.

The ceremony also will include female bishops for the first time, as well as hymns and prayers sung in Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic, as well as English.

The coronation ceremony reflects Charles’ efforts to show that the 1,000-year-old monarchy is still relevant in a country that is much more diverse than it was when his mother was crowned 70 years ago. While the king is the supreme governor of the Church of England, the latest census showed that less than half of the population now describe themselves as Christian.
