King's coronation: Midnight rehearsal takes place in London as military parade through empty streets

and Queen Consort, Camilla, will travel to and from Westminster Abbey via Parliament Square, along Whitehall, around Trafalgar Square, through Admiralty Arch and down The Mall to Buckingham Palace.The procession route stretches to just 1.3 miles, a quarter of the length of the Queen's five-mile celebratory journey which went through Piccadilly, Oxford Street and Regent Street in 1953.

The new King and Queen will travel in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach on their way to the ceremony and use the 260-year-old Gold State Coach for the return journey - although there was no sight of either coach at the rehearsal.

What a waste of taxpayers money

Brilliant idea…hold the coronation at midnight to avoid disruption

What a ridiculous waste of money.

Pray For Russia to ruin his coronation

Such a wonderful sight
