The coronation of King Charles III is just a week away .

The King will be crowned alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort, at Westminster Abbey on May 6, or May 7th for us in New Zealand.

The day will feature customs dating back more than one thousand years.

We already know Coronation Quiche is the official dish but what other traditions can we expect to see take place or change on the day?
