The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla

A flypast over Buckingham Palace to celebrate King Charles III's coronation has been slimmed down due to poor weather in London, according to Britain's PA Media.

It will now be formed only of helicopters and the Red Arrows display team, the Ministry of Defence said.

The event will now last two and a half minutes, down from six.

It was initially intended to include modern F-35s and Typhoons, and the Battle of Britain memorial flight – a display group that usually includes Spitfires, Hurricane fighters and Lancaster bombers.

King Charles and Queen Camilla received a Royal Salute and three cheers from military personnel as they returned to Buckingham Palace.

The national anthem then again rang out in the Buckingham Palace garden.

It follows a lengthy and vast procession from the Abbey that featured 4,000 people and 19 military bands.

Camilla was crowned as Britain’s new Queen at Westminster Abbey, taking on a new and more prominent role alongside King Charles III.

She was ever-present at Charles’ side as he publicly grieved his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, and stepped into his new role. She is the love of his life, as well as a decades-long counselor and confidante.

Since she and Charles married in 2005, Camilla has worked hard as a senior royal, supporting her husband and championing charities helping women and children. But some in Britain find it hard to forget, or forgive, the couple’s long-running extra-marital affair and the pain it caused Charles’ first wife, Diana, Princess of Wales.

Still, with her common touch and ability to dissipate the tension in a room, Camilla quickly became an asset to the royal family and the British government after she married Charles in 2005.

She defined her own royal role, championing causes close to her heart, such as children’s literacy, supporting victims of domestic violence and raising awareness around osteoporosis, a condition that affected her mother and grandmother.

As well as these responsibilities, Camilla has also become a “professional grandmother,” as one of her aides told CNN in 2013.

So, what can we expect from Britain’s new Queen? You can find out here.

The atmosphere was festive and full of joy as punters in the Phoenix pub in Chelsea watched King Charles' coronation on TV Saturday.

The room was abuzz with excitement as drinkers watched the new monarch's big moment.

As St. Edward's Crown was placed on the sovereign's head, there were a few cheers of "God Save the King."

No one at the Chelsea establishment joined in on one controversial new element of the ritual -- the homage of the people -- by pledging allegiance to the King.

U.S. first lady Jill Biden tweeted that it was an "honor" for her to represent the United States at the King's coronation on Saturday.

"It’s an honor to represent the United States on this historic day at Westminster Abbey," she added.

This procession is the moment that many royal supporters have waited all day for -- the King and Queen, followed by a huge parade of soldiers, musicians and horses, are passing by cheering crowds on their way to Buckingham Palace.

The Gold State Coach that carries the monarch and his wife is incredibly heavy -- weighing 4 tons -- meaning that it can only travel at walking pace.

Ahead of the celebrations, Sally Goodsir, the Royal Collection Trust’s curator of decorative arts, said: “It is nearly four meters tall. It’s over seven meters long. It weighs four tons. Because of that it can only be used at a walking pace, which really adds to the majesty and stateliness of this great royal procession."

"There are very few monarchies which have retained coaches working of this age, and therefore it’s an incredibly special thing to see," she added.

It’s covered in painted panels “that exemplify” what George III, who was monarch when the coach was built in 1762, believed he would bring to the nation. “Protecting the arts such as architecture and sculpture; protecting peace in this nation, there’s figures of Mars and Minerva, the classical gods of war, but they’re not at war, they’re actually holding the British Crown aloft. So, there’s lots of messages and symbolism,” Goodsir said.

While many royal fans are lining the streets of London and millions more are watching the coronation at home, some Brits are questioning spending money on such an opulent event as the cost of living crisis continues to grip the country.

Stubbornly high inflation, years of wage stagnation and the sudden and steep rise in energy prices have left millions of Brits on the brink of poverty. Yet at the same time, the UK government is getting ready to spend tens of millions of taxpayers’ money on a glitzy event celebrating one very, very rich man: King Charles III.

CNN visited Doncaster which, like many parts of Northern England, has never quite recovered from the industrial decline and mine closures of the 1980s and 90s. Already struggling, the region has been hit hard by the severe cost of living crisis that is now impacting the whole of the UK.

The government has refused to put a figure on the cost of the coronation, with estimates by British media ranging from £50 million to more than £100 million ($63 million to $125 million).

Across the country, meanwhile, real wages including bonuses fell 3% in the three months to February, according to the Office for National Statistics. That’s one of the largest falls since records began in 2001.

It’s a contrast which hasn’t been lost on these Brits.

The newly-crowned King has left Westminster Abbey and entered the Gold State Coach, which will take him back to Buckingham Palace.

The coach has been used in every coronation since that of William IV in 1831, providing a powerful connection to previous elaborate ceremonies.

It is drawn by eight Windsor Grey horses.

This coronation procession will follow the same route but be much larger in scale than the one preceding the coronation service. It will feature “Armed Forces from across the Commonwealth and the British Overseas Territories, and all Services of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom, alongside The Sovereign’s Bodyguard and Royal Watermen,” according to the royal household.

A scheduled flypast over Buckingham Palace to celebrate the King’s coronation could be scaled back or cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. 

A final decision is expected to be made at 2 p.m (9 a.m. ET), a half-hour before the flypast is scheduled to happen.

The flypast is meant to last six minutes and feature more than 60 aircraft divided into 14 waves from across the Navy, Army and Royal Air force. 

Royal Air Force air chief marshal Sir Michael Wigston Friday said it’s “50/50” as to whether the event will go ahead.
