OFFICIAL figures I obtained under freedom of information rules show a maximum 130,000 people went to watch King Charles’s coronation procession on May 6 this year. By comparison 215,000 attended his mother’s funeral procession, showing declining enthusiasm for royalty.
Press reports only described “tens of thousands” cheering on Charles and Camilla — the way no official estimates of turnout were given made me suspect the figure was low.
So I asked the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), which was responsible for coronation crowd management, if it had more accurate figures.
