Countdown to Coronation

A Special Abbey Treat

 I was looking at the Westminster Abbey website last week and stumbled upon the news that you can visit the "Coronation Theatre" in the Abbey for a limited time after the big day.

 

From Westminster Abbey site:

"Following the Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort, visitors will be welcomed to the Abbey to see the Coronation Theatre from Monday 8th May to Saturday 13th May.

Visitors will be able to view the Coronation Theatre, the special area which will be built for the historic occasion, from the Abbey’s North and South Transepts.

Entry will include seeing key elements from the coronation service including the Coronation Chair in position on the Cosmati Pavement, where His Majesty The King will be crowned."

I was able to grab a ticket to an early timeslot on the first day. Hooray. Very grateful and excited. 

Now to work out where to stand in the streets to see the procession.... Personally I assume it will be very congested by the time I reach The Mall in the wee hours of Coronation Day.
