Although he has been king since Queen Elizabeth passed away in September, this is the ceremony that officially crowns him as the new monarch. The event is steeped in tradition, with centuries-old customs and rituals that are sure to impress any spectator. From the grand processions to the elaborate dress of the royal family, the coronation is a sight to behold. And for those who can't be there in person, the ceremony will be broadcast on television, so you can still feel like you're a part of the historic event.
