Watch: View of Buckingham Palace as King’s coronation preparations get underway

[ad_1]

Watch a view of Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, 3 May, as preparations for King Charles III’s coronation get underway.

His Majesty will be crowned on Saturday in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

An early-morning rehearsal on Wednesday provided the first glimpses of the upcoming procession through central London.

Just after 12am, hundreds of soldiers including many on horseback marched down the Mall from Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar Square and onto Downing Street and Westminster Abbey.

The rehearsa gave an insight into how the Diamond Jubilee State Coach and Gold State Coach will feature in the procession.

Many soldiers carried a wide range of instruments but only drums were played by marching troops until they returned down the Mall after 3am.

The rehearsal came just hours after a man was arrested outside Buckingham Palace after allegedly throwing items, suspected to be shotgun cartridges, into the grounds.

The Metropolitan Police said he was detained at around 7pm on Tuesday after he approached the palace’s gates and threw a number of items.

He was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon.

“There have been no reports of any shots fired, or any injuries to officers or members of the public,” Chief Superintendent Joseph McDonald said.

Casemiro has improved Man Utd: Maguire | The Express Tribune

[ad_1] LONDON: Casemiro scored twice as Manchester United turned on the style to beat 10-man Reading 3-1 and reach the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday as Tottenham forward Son Heung-min ended his recent goal drought. On a day lacking major shocks, there were wins for Premier League strugglers Leeds, Leicester and Southampton but Fulham were held by Championship side Sunderland. United – fourth in the Premier League and within touching distance of a place in the League Cup final – produced more compelling evidence they are back on track under new manager Erik ten Hag . The home side took the lead at Old Trafford in the 54th minute when Anthony produced a defence-splitting pass to find Brazil teammate Casemiro, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Joe Lumley. Four minutes later United were two up, when Casemiro let fly with a stunning strike from outside the box to find the bottom corner. With the home side brimming with confidence, substitute Fred produced an audacious flic

Perspective | When it comes to this year’s Oscar movies, more is more

[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment Cinema today is in chaos. Theater chains are imploding. Studios are scrambling. Streamers are desperately trying to win subscribers and claw back the ones who have left. The answer, clearly, is more comic book movies. Unless it’s horror. Or boomer nostalgia. No, it’s “Cocaine Bear”! As the screenwriter William Goldman famously said about Hollywood: “Nobody knows anything.” The movie business has always been an enterprise driven more by fear and instinct than no-fail formulas. But something shifted in 2022, when the uncertainty and destabilization that has pervaded the industry migrated to the movies themselves. Filmgoers who ventured outside the reassuring familiarity of an old-school action flick like “Top Gun: Maverick” were likely to feel bombarded with stories that felt bloated, digressive and almost pathologically discombobulated. And those are just the Oscar movies. In “Elvis,” best actor nominee Austin Butler barely managed to fight
