King Charles III coronation

The British monarch is to be crowned today at Westminster Abbey

The British monarch, King Charles III, is to be crowned in a coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey. We’re joined by correspondents at the scene and hear from the King’s former communications secretary.

Also on the programme: After 20 million deaths from Covid-19, the World Health Organisation officially declares an end to the global health emergency; and the UK’s ruling Conservative Party takes a drubbing in local elections.

Joining Audrey Brown to discuss all this and more are author and journalist Shrabani Basi and Frank Langfitt, global democracy correspondent for the US National Public Radio network.
