The king and the queen will be seen on the balcony to see the procession march through the mall before a red arrow flow over.

They will be joined by the usual contingent of the Senior Royals, which generally include the Prince and the Princess of Wales, the Duke and the Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Ana and Sir Tim Laurence.

Many will hope to see the three children of Kate and William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, but there has been no confirmation of whether they will join the balcony.

As usual, Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, who left the real duties in 2019 due to his association with the sentenced sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein, will not be present.
