King Charles coronation at Westminster Abbey where his mother's funeral was held

Hindustan Times  

Westminster Abbey has been the site of royal coronations, weddings, funerals and burials for the last 1,000 years. The state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, also took place at the iconic church which was also a witness to three significant events in the monarch's life - her marriage to Prince Philip, her coronation in 1952, and her funeral. Westminster Abbey is pictured in central London as preparations continue ahead of the May 6 Coronation of King Charles III. A marvel of gothic architecture, the Westminster Abbey stands on one side of Parliament Square in London, adjoining Big Ben, Victoria Tower and the Houses of Parliament. King Charles is set to be crowned at the venue as he succeeds his mother Queen Elizabeth after her death last September.
