BBC viewers will be able to watch the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort in Ultra High Definition and High Dynamic Range.
UHD cameras are being installed at multiple locations across the route of The King’s Procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.
BBC iPlayer’s UHD stream will also use a Wide Colour Gamut, meaning viewers will see more colours than usually seen through television – offering an even more lifelike view of the occasion.
The iPlayer will also carry versions with subtitles, sign language, and an alternative commentary version for people with sight loss. The alternative commentary version will also be available on red button on broadcast channels, and the subtitled, alternative commentary, and signed versions will be available to viewers by pressing red while watching a BBC channel on an internet-connected TV.
Viewers will also have the option to watch live without BBC commentary.
Kirsty Young will be in a studio at Buckingham Palace and News at 10 anchor Huw Edwards will provide commentary as the doors of Westminster Abbey open. Clare Balding will provide commentary for the ceremonial route.
