The procession back will feature a cast of hundreds of members of the Armed Forces from the UK, Commonwealth and the British Overseas Territories, as well as the Sovereign's Bodyguard and Royal Watermen.
It will take longer than the royals' outward journey because the historic gilded carriage, which will be drawn by eight Windsor greys, is so heavy it has to travel at walking pace.
The priceless array of coronation regalia from the Crown Jewels which will be used during the religious service in the Abbey have also been confirmed.
