King Charles III hosted his first State Opening of Parliament today, marking the formal start of the parliamentary year, which sets the government's agenda.

The event began with King Charles and Queen Camilla taking part in a procession from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster. The royals traveled in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, the same historic horse-drawn carriage they used on their Coronation Day, in May, created in 2012 for the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne.
