Hide AdThe 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.”
The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen Consort is available in braille (order number DUP0003655), human-voice DAISY audio (DUP0003656) and 16pt large print (DUP0003657).
