London, May 6 Thousands of people are already gathered this Saturday along the route that the carriage procession that the kings of the United Kingdom, Carlos III and Camila, will take to Westminster Abbey, where the monarch will be crowned.
On both sides of The Mall, which connects Buckingham Palace, and Whitehall, a government area, British and foreign tourists, carrying UK flags, hats and banners, await the start of the coronation show.
Some have been sleeping for several days in front of the security fences set up by the police in order to ensure the best position to see the coronation event up close, which the security forces have dubbed “Operation Golden Orb”.
More than 11,000 officers take part in this impressive device, described by law enforcement as the largest deployment in the history of London, aimed at ensuring that the coronation event, which will be followed by millions of people at home and abroad , passed without incident.
This is expected to be a spectacular event, involving 7,000 troops, who will escort the Golden Imperial State Carriage, used by Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in June 1953 and other previous monarchs, from the abbey to Buckingham Palace , after Carlos III is crowned.EFE
