NHS Workers And Veterans To Be Given Coronation Spots
The Independent
|April 17, 2023
Thousands of Armed Forces veterans and NHS workers will watch King Charles III’s coronation in front of Buckingham Palace.
Around 3,800 seats will be integrated into a specially-constructed grandstand at the Queen Victoria Memorial. These have been offered "as a mark of the nation's profound gratitude" to veterans, NHS and social care workers, plus representatives of charitable organisations with links to the royal family.
A further 354 uniformed cadet forces will be offered the chance to watch the coronation procession at Admiralty Arch. The coveted spots mean they will get a special view of key moments during the May 6 coronation including the processions, the appearance of the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony and the Armed Forces fly past.
