The United Kingdom today is a very different country to 70 years ago, and it's expected to have a wider representation of different religions in the ceremony. One of the key features of a coronation is a procession. A procession is a ceremonial parade that takes place during a monarch's coronation, typically leading to the religious ceremony at a location such as a cathedral or abbey. In this case, the procession will go from go to Westminster Abbey and then return from Westminster Abbey. The procession is usually led by the newly crowned monarch, the king, accompanied by members of his family, government officials, dignitaries and representatives from various organisations. While Queen Elizabeth had over 15,000 participants and the procession through the streets of London took hours, this year it's expected to be shorter and more modern. The king and queen consort will actually travel to Westminster Abbey in a modern carriage, but on the return journey they will use the Golden State Coach, which has been used in every coronation since the 1830s. This time, the procession is estimated to have over 6,000 members of the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces, and also thousands of hospital workers and military veterans will be given priority viewing positions in London.
