King Charles's coronation: Day-by-day schedule

The coronation of King Charles III is less than 24 hours away.

It comes as the King and Queen Consort visited Westminster Abbey for a final rehearsal on Friday.

Charles waved from the car window as he arrived, with a crowd of onlookers having gathered at a metal barrier outside the Abbey in drizzling rain to catch a glimpse.

We now have a timetable for the day of the service itself, and know where the Royal Family will be over the weekend of festivities.

Prince Harry has confirmed that he will attending to support his father and Prince George is also set to take on a major role in the coronation, as one of his grandfather's pages of honour.

At just nine years old, he is the youngest member of the Royal Family to take part in a ceremony like this.

It's also been revealed which members of the aristocracy have successfully proved their historic claim to play a role in the coronation and who will be holding the regalia in the service.

Yahoo UK breaks down exactly what's on the cards, where it will take place and when.

Last year's Platinum Jubilee to celebrate the 70th year of Queen Elizabeth's reign saw similar events take place across the country, with senior royals popping up at different events.

This year will be no exception, with various royals appearing around the country to celebrate the coronation with different communities.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will attend a street party in Windsor, while Princess Anne and her husband Vice-Admiral Tim Laurence will be making an appearance in Swindon.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh will attend an event in Cranleigh, Surrey.

Later that day there will be a concert at Windsor Castle — at which several big names are confirmed to be performing, including Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Andrea Bocelli.

The concert will feature spoken word and dance, as well as performances from the Coronation Choir, which has been created for the occasion from community and amateur choralists from across the country.

There will also be a light show — which the palace called the "centrepiece" of the evening — created from lasers, drones, illuminations and projections.

This portion of the evening will be called Lighting Up the Nation and landmarks around the UK will be lit up.

Monday 8 May – The Big Help Out

On the bank holiday, The Big Help Out is being organised. This hopes to bring communities together by presenting an opportunity for people to volunteer in their local areas.

The royals will be leading by example and appearing around the country at different volunteering events.

Sophie and Edward will attend a puppy training class at a guide dog centre in Reading, while the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester will meet volunteers at an event in London.

Princess Anne and her husband will attend a civic service at Gloucester Cathedral honouring local volunteers.

The aim is to bring about a "lasting legacy of volunteering" after the coronation weekend, and the Big Help Out is being organised by the Together Coalition — with partner organisations like the Royal Voluntary Service, the Scouts and faith groups.

There is a special app that has been created for The Big Help Out, which you can find out more about on the initiative's website.
