    King Charles III's Coronation is underway, and it has been the royal event many have been waiting in anticipation for - us included. 

    The ceremony, which will see St Edward’s Crown placed on the 74-year-old British monarch's head, has been meticulously planned for months, and now the day has finally arrived. 

    The momentous event will take place at London's Westminster Abbey on 6 May, with the official crowning ceremony due to take place at midday. 

    The event has amassed thousands of royal fans, some have pitched up along The Mall and Buckingham Palace for hours to witness the ceremony, which is a big moment in royal history.

    There has been growing speculation over who will or will not be attending the Coronation, such as Prince Harry and Sarah Ferguson.

    Prince Harry has confirmed he will be present and has been spotted in the UK ahead of the Coronation, despite fears he could pull out last minute, while Sarah reportedly did not receive an invite - which she believes is due to her divorce from Prince Andrew. 

    There have also been hints about which celebrity guests have received an invite over the last few weeks, and now the wait is over.
