After the death Queen Elizabeth II was made public, the throne passed immediately to Charles, her son and the former Prince of Wales.

He will be crowned king at the coronation which is likely to take place in the spring or summer of 2023.

The coronation has been held in Westminster Abbey for the past 900 years since William the Conqueror.

The St Edwards crown which dates from 1661 will be placed on Charles's head by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The crown is studded with 444 coloured gemstones including sapphires, tourmalines, garnets and rubies filled with purple velvet centre and trimmed with fur as it is the iconic solid gold crown from the crown jewels at the Tower of London.
