King Charles's coronation on 6 May is just weeks away, with the guest list filling up as foreign royals, dignitaries and high-profile figures confirm their attendance.
Members of the royal family are expected to process with the newly-crowned King and Queen Consort as they leave Westminster Abbey to head back to Buckingham Palace.
See the route they will be taking and why it's shorter than the one Queen Elizabeth II took for her coronation in 1953 in the clip below…
However, there are a number of key players involved in the ceremony, who aren't royal.
HELLO! takes a closer look at some of the attendees who have big roles to play at the Westminster Abbey service.

He married Francesca Herbert in November 2022. Her former husband, Harry, is the son of Lord Porchester the 7th Earl of Carnarvon, who was the late Queen's racing manager.
The Duke, who resides at Arundel Castle, was banned from driving for six months in September for using his mobile phone behind the wheel despite claiming he needed his licence to arrange the upcoming coronation.
Archbishop of Canterbury

Writing in the official coronation souvenir programme, the Archbishop said Charles will swap his “robes of status and honour” for a simple white shirt for the private anointing during the May 6 ceremony.
Justin Welby
Justin Welby has served as the 105th Archbishop of Canterbury since 2013. He was ordained in 1992 and later served as a Canon of Coventry Cathedral in 2002. Beyond this, he was Dean of Liverpool from 2007 to 2011 and Bishop of Durham from 2011 to 2012. Justin studied at Eton College and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he earned a master’s degree in history and law. He later studied at St. John's College, Durham, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree and a diploma in theology. The Archbishop of Canterbury will conduct an Anglican service at the King's coronation. The service will be steeped in tradition and will include six basic stages: The recognition, the oath, the anointing, the investiture, the enthronement, and the homage.
During an interview with Channel 4 News, Mr Welby said he has been dreaming about accidentally leaving the crown at his official London residence of Lambeth Palace.
"It's giving me nightmares already," he said.
"I dreamt we got to the point and I'd left the crown at Lambeth Palace. It's obviously weighing on me quite a lot.
“But it's just an enormous honour and privilege to do that, and the coronation weekend is going to be a time of bringing the country together."
Dean of Westminster

The current dean is the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle, who conducted the late Queen's funeral service.
Pages of Honour
The Prince and Princess of Wales's eldest child, Prince George, has a starring role as one of his grandfather Charles's pages of honour at the ceremony. The nine-year-old Prince will also be joined by seven other non-royals, including three of the Queen Consort's grandsons.
Gus and Louis Lopes are the 13-year-old twin sons of Camilla's daughter Laura and her husband, Harry. While Freddy Parker Bowles, 13, is the son of Camilla's son Tom Parker Bowles and his former wife, Sara Buys.

The Queen Consort's great-nephew, Arthur Elliot, 11, will also be one of her pages of honour.
The King's pages are Nicholas Barclay, 13, grandson of Sarah Troughton, who is one of the Queen Consort's Companions, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, 13, son of the Marquess of Cholmondeley, also known as film-maker David Rocksavage and a friend of the Prince of Wales, and Ralph Tollemache, 12, who is the eldest son of Edward and Sophie Tollemache.
Edward counts Charles among his godparents and he was also a page of honour to the late Queen from 1988 to 1990.
