Rt Revd Jan McFarlane, Dean of Lichfield, said: "We are thrilled to welcome His Majesty King Charles III to Lichfield Cathedral, 14 years after The Late Queen Elizabeth II visited us. "We are so proud of our magnificent Cathedral and City, and it means a great deal to everyone to be able to show our King all that is happening in our community. "We very much hope that residents of our fine city will line the streets to greet our King with enthusiastic cheers." The public viewing areas will be set up around The Close, with the public being granted access from 9am onwards. The cathedral advised that only a limited amount of space is available in the public viewing areas, and once safely filled, access to The Close will be closed. The public will then be directed to Beacon Street, where they will get a royal convoy's arrival.
