King Charles III will be crowned at a slimmed-down coronation next year.
Before the date has officially announced, it was been widely reported that the ceremony would take place on Saturday, June 3. Buckingham Palace later said it would be on Saturday, May 6.
The event will take place almost 70 years after the monarch's late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was crowned on June 2, 1953.
But while new king will be swept to Westminster Abbey in the Gold State Coach with Queen Consort Camilla at his side, the ceremony looks set to be a more modest affair.
And while Elizabeth was aged just 27 at her coronation, her son will become the oldest monarch to be crowned in British history at the age of 74.
The number of guests in the abbey will reportedly be cut from 8,000 to 2,000.
The ceremony will also be far shorter - an hour instead of four, with many of the rituals removed.
