King’s Coronation at Westminster Abbey

King Charles III is to be formally crowned king

King Charles III is to be formally crowned king at a ceremony in Westminster Abbey today. James Reynolds and Audrey Brown present an extended edition of the programme and are joined by BBC correspondents for the historic day.

We speak to Pretty Yende, the South African opera singer and soprano singing at the coronation.

In the studio 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.
