On Friday May 5th, 'Coronation Street' and 'This Morning' will join forces for a live, 150-minute episode presented by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary from the iconic Weatherfield cobbles.

On Saturday May 6th, 'Good Morning Britain' will air a one-off special weekend episode to celebrate the spectacle.

Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard will be live from Westminster Abbey, and Ranvir Singh will be outside the Abbey speaking to guests as they arrive.

Kate Garraway will be live from Buckingham Palace, Charlotte Hawkins will be with the Armed Forces and Laura Tobin will be live from the Long Walk in Windsor.

Special guests that day will include Mel B and Jonathan Dimbleby among others.

Michael Jermey, ITV's Director of News and Current Affairs, said: "ITV's uninterrupted coverage on Coronation Day will capture every significant moment of an historically important event.

"We will provide viewers with a close up view of all the pageantry and public celebration.

"Our guests will reflect a range of views on what the new reign will mean for Britain and the Commonwealth."

Emma Gormley, Managing Director ITV Daytime, added: "The Coronation of HM King Charles III is a once-in-a-lifetime television event and here at ITV Daytime we’re producing many hours of bespoke content, as well as special stand alone shows, to celebrate and commemorate this historical occasion with our audience, both at home and globally."
