Come Coronation Day, the eyes of millions will be on the great and good at Westminster Abbey: the King and Queen, the princes and princesses, the dukes and the duchesses. But what about the talented men and women who put the show on the road?<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered who puts the uniforms on the military bands and honour guards? Who plans the invitations? And who, vitally, makes sure there are cups of tea at the nation\u2019s coronation street parties?<\/p>\n

Queen Elizabeth II was crowned 16 months after her accession. The planning of King Charles III\u2019s coronation has, by comparison, been an eight-month rush: just 240 days to arrange everything from changing the royal cipher on countless uniforms to agreeing on the recipe for the perfect coronation quiche.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, in this week\u2019s issue of Radio Times magazine<\/strong> \u2013 the first of two special coronation issues<\/a> \u2013 we talk to Nathan Kashket whose family firm has made 6,000 uniforms for members of the armed forces taking part in the coronation parade.<\/p>

We also talk to those preparing to sing for the King in the Coronation Choir, including Rose Ayling-Ellis, who is mentoring an all-deaf signing group. And if you require inspiration for a tea party, six of our top TV chefs offer us a dish fit to set before a king.<\/p>\n

Plus, we meet Emma Bridgewater, who has produced a range of pottery to mark the event. Not that she will be sipping a cuppa on 6th May \u2013 like thousands of others she\u2019ll be on the Mall, hoping Charles III\u2019s reign will signal a revival of British skills and industry worthy of a new Carolean age.<\/p>\n
