Who will get front-row seats to the King’s coronation procession?

It was also announced that veterans and NHS workers would be given 3,800 seats located in a newly built grandstand in front of Buckingham Palace.

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said these coronation invites have been offered “as a mark of the nation’s profound gratitude”.

Representatives from charities with links to the Royals will also be given seats with another 354 uniformed cadet forces to be offered the chance to attend the viewing at Admiralty Arch.
