King Charles III surprises crowd outside Buckingham Palace

Associated Press  

LONDON — King Charles III surprised cheering fans who started gathering outside Buckingham Palace on Friday, a day ahead of his coronation, as final touches were made in preparation for an occasion that London hasn’t celebrated in 70 years. One person could be heard yelling “God save the king” as the British monarch approached the throng lined up behind a barricade. “I saw his hand coming out to mine and I was like, ‘I can’t believe I’m shaking the king’s hand,’” she said. I can’t believe it.” Throughout the day, rail travelers throughout the United Kingdom were greeted with a recorded message from the king as they boarded trains wishing them and their families “a wonderful coronation weekend.” The message concluded with Charles providing the familiar warning passengers get before they board or leave subways and trains: “And remember, please mind the gap.”
