Pictures show King Charles coronation rehearsal that gave eager royals fans a sneak preview

London — Hundreds of soldiers marched from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in the early hours of Wednesday morning as part of a rehearsal amid preparations for King Charles III's coronation ceremony on Saturday.

Eager fans of the royals who've camped out ahead of Saturday's event were treated to a sneak preview as the 260-year-old Gold State Coach, which will carry the newly-crowned king and Queen Camilla on their return from Westminster Abbey, was pulled along The Mall, the broad, tree-lined avenue that leads straight to Buckingham Palace.
