In honor of this milestone, the palace, on behalf of the royal couple, has shared a heartfelt video capturing cherished moments from the coronation ceremony.
In a tweet from the palace’s official handle, formerly known as X, the message reads, “Today marks the first anniversary of The King and Queen’s Coronation in Westminster Abbey.”
The tweet further highlights the festivities surrounding the coronation weekend, including a carriage procession through central London, a fly-past, a Royal Salute by 4,000 troops in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, a Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle, and a UK-wide volunteering initiative.
