In addition, it’s been announced that more than 6,000 men and women from the UK’s Armed Forces will take part in the historic royal event. It is said to be the largest ceremonial display of armed forces in a generation.

Travelling by train is one of the greenest forms of transport and a train journey from central London emits 71% less in greenhouse gases than a petrol car trip on the same route.
Please check with the venue for opening times and directions from the railway station.
