The Coronation of King Charles III will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday and will follow five traditional elements.
These are the Recognition; the Oath; the Anointing; the Investiture and Crowning; and the Enthronement and Homage, and the Queen Consort’s coronation.
The most sacred part of the coronation ceremony will be the moment King Charles III is anointed. This is the moment when The King is anointed with holy oil and is the central act of the religious ceremony.

This part of the ceremony also takes place in private - meaning those watching in the abbey and at home will not be able to watch it.
Instead, Charles will be shielded by a new partition, featuring an embroidered design celebrating the Commonwealth.
Behind the screen, Charles will wear a simple white shirt, representing that he comes before God as a servant. The Dean of Westminster will then pour oil from the ampulla into the coronation spoon. The Archbishop of Canterbury will then anoint the King on his hands, breast, and head, using his fingers.
The screen will then be removed before the ceremony continues in public.
The main panel of the screen that will be used in the anointment features a tree with the names of the Commonwealth’s 56 member states embroidered onto individual leaves. The two side screens feature an embroidered cross and all are 2.6 metres high and 2.2 metres wide.
It also features a dove and on either side of the tree is a trumpet-blowing angel representing heaven and earth brought together.
Embroidered at the bottom is the quotation “All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well” from the medieval mystic Julian of Norwich.
