When Charles has his coronation do we think it will be a big massive event like the queens with decorations around london
No - they won't have anywhere like 8000 in the Abbey (Health and Safety would be a major barrier to that). I can't see them closing the Abbey for half a year in preparation either. The Abbey couldn't afford the loss in revenue.
It will be big but not on the scale of The Queen's. The actual ceremony will be the same but the parade to and from the Abbey won't have as many carriages for instance.
I am not even sure they will use the Gold State Coach (when I was last at The Mews that was hinted at by the people who work there due to the cost of refurbishing it - around 10 million pounds in 2012 ... which is one reason why it wasn't used for the Diamond Jubilee and the cost of refurbishing it will only increase).
