The Coronation of King Charles III is just a few days away now, and the ceremony will feature pieces of Coronation Regalia.
Usually kept on display in the Tower of London the objects symbolise the service and responsibilities of the monarch.
They have played a central role in Coronation Services for hundreds of years, and include the Sovereign's Orb, the Sovereign's Scepters and the Coronation spoon.
Alongside this a couple of crowns will be used at Westminster Abbey, but will King Charles wear the Imperial State Crown as part of it?
Will King Charles wear the Imperial State Crown?
King Charles will wear the Imperial State Crown in his Coronation, but it will not be the piece he will be wearing the moment he is officially crowned.
At that moment the St. Edward's Crown will be lowered onto his head at the very climax of the ceremony.
It weighs almost five pounds, is made from solid gold and is adorned with 444 semi-precious stones.
As reported by CBS, Queen Elizabeth II once said in an interview that the weight of the crown would break your neck if you bent down while wearing it.
Following the official moment of coronation, King Charles will then wear the Imperial State Crown for the final procession from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace on the Gold State Coach.
Additionally, he will have it on when he appears on the palace balcony to wave to supporters with other members of his family not long after.
It is decorated with 2,868 diamonds but is much lighter than the St. Edward's Crown.
