Look at royal coaches to be used on Coronation Day

As the coronation of King Charles III approaches, Royal workers are preparing for one of the most important parts of the days events - making ready the various opulent coaches which will carry the King from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.

Two coaches will be used during the day's events - the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, which will take the King and Queen to Westminster Abbey in the morning, and the Gold State Coach, which will carry the Royals to Buckingham Palace following the coronation ceremony in an official Procession. S

ally Goodsir, Curator of Decorative Arts, Royal Collection Trust said "Historically, it was used relatively regularly for state opening of Parliament in the 18th and 19th centuries. But in the 20th and certainly in the 21st, there's been very few opportunities to use it and therefore it's actually really fortunate that it was seen on the streets of London just last year for the Platinum Jubilee Pageant and then again this year for the king's coronation. Both will be drawn by several horses, with as many as eight horses pulling the Gold State Coach.
