King Charles

A glorious array of uniforms and cap badges on display as coronation rehearsals continue

Watch: 2,500 soldiers, plus troops from all across the Commonwealth, practise their marching skills ahead of the King's coronation.

It will be one of the biggest military spectacles of modern times and the Army isn't wasting a moment when it comes to rehearsing.

2,500 Army personnel, including 600 soldiers from across the Commonwealth, have been out in the sunshine at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst perfecting their marching skills ahead of the King's coronation.

The Sandhurst grounds were used to replicate the streets of London which they will proudly march through on the big day.

When His Majesty the King departs Westminster Abbey, coronated, and travels to Buckingham Palace, he will be at the heart of the largest military procession in London for 70 years.
