RNIB Newsagent has produced a special commemorative guide to celebrate the historic occasion on Saturday 6 May, when Her Majesty Camilla, The Queen Consort will also be crowned.

The Coronation takes place at Westminster Abbey, and will be followed by a weekend of special events.

The guide takes you through all the longstanding traditions and pageantry of the Coronation ceremony itself and, as Their Majesties want to encourage people to mark the occasion with friends, families and their communities, it also has information on how you can enjoy events such as the Coronation Big Lunches and the Big Help Out.

The commemorative guide also takes a look back at the lives of King Charles III and Camilla, The Queen Consort, as well as reflecting on the Coronation of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 70 years ago – for which the RNIB also produced a special braille Coronation programme.

Racheal Jarvis, Senior Editor at RNIB Newsagent, said: “RNIB Newsagent is delighted to provide a Coronation programme in accessible formats, so that everyone can be involved and follow the events of such an historic occasion.”
