For the first time, the public will be asked to say a pledge of allegiance to the King at the Coronation.

King Charles' coronation will be held Saturday night, our time.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will ask people in the UK and other Realms and Territories to pay homage to the King.

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey says that it's one of several changes to the ancient ceremony.

He says female clergy will have a prominent role, the King will pray out loud, and religious leaders from different faiths will also play a part — all for the first time.
