At last the Coronation movie is released! Historic film shows the inside story of King Charles's big day

A historic video revealing the inside story of the King Charles' Coronation has been filmed to mark its one-year anniversary.

For the first time, the Coronation Roll – the official account of the day – will be brought into the digital age, with special videos being recorded of 15 people who played a key part on the day.

The recordings, filmed in the grand surroundings of Horse Guards, include Penny Mordaunt recalling her starring role carrying the Coronation Sword, and the Duke of Norfolk, who was in charge of organising the Coronation.

They have been asked to record their memories of the occasion, to be presented to the public and the King. 

The Duke of Norfolk told the Mail on Sunday: 'Written accounts of the Coronation date back to the 14th century, it's a wonderful historic account of the ceremony. The digital version is a new creation, and it will be for everyone to look at.

'I was asked about my key memories and special moments, for instance I spoke about how the military went to the Buckingham Palace garden to give the King a royal salute, which was a new invention.

'I think that was an emotional moment for the King and it broke with tradition. It was a little refinement that took a lot of planning but went very smoothly.'

The Coronation Roll is a state record of the coronation dating back to 1308. The traditional Roll of the 2023 coronation will be stored in the National Archives but the additional video will be recorded 'for the nation', sources said.

It will be launched to time with the 6 May anniversary and the recordings have been taking place over the past few weeks. The final film is expected to show about two-minute long testimonies of each interviewee.
