Bermuda will be represented for the coronation ceremony for King Charles III and the Queen Consort this weekend in London by Rena Lalgie, the Governor, and David Burt, the Premier.

The programme is to commence at Lancaster House with a briefing, hosted by the King, for small island developing states.

This is followed by the King’s Reception for Overseas Representatives and Heads of Government and hosted by their Majesties at Buckingham Palace.

Last night, beneath the glow of London’s streetlamps, 4,000 sailors, soldiers and aviators paraded through the empty streets of the Capital as they mounted their final full-scale rehearsal of the Coronation processions ahead of 6 May.Personnel from all regiments of the British Army, and from across the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, formed up into the eight processional groups that will lead Their Majesties The King and Queen Consort back to Buckingham Palace after the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey. At front is the contingent from the Royal Bermuda Regiment.

The Governor and Premier are to attend the coronation ceremony on Saturday at Westminster Abbey, followed by the Coronation Concert at Windsor on Sunday.

At the conclusion of the coronation programme, the annual Joint Ministerial Council with elected leaders of the Overseas Territories will commence, chaired by Lord Goldsmith, Minister for Overseas Territories.

The JMC is the highest political forum between the UK Government and governments of the Overseas Territories.
