Crowds from all over the world — including Canada — were beginning to gather in London on Monday ahead of the coronation of King Charles.
Scott chatted with fellow camper Patrick O’Neill, from Belfast, who wore a plastic crown and draped himself in Union Jacks as the group used a tarp to protect their belongings from the occasional rain shower. RCMP members on horseback will also ride in the procession that will bring King Charles and Camilla to Westminster Abbey for Saturday’s coronation ceremony.
Not everyone was swept up in the coronation excitement, however. Outside Buckingham Palace, a small handful of protesters wore cardboard masks with King Charles and Camilla’s faces on them, as they unfurled a banner that read “They don’t care if you starve.”
