Coronation disruptors will face ‘very swift action’ from Met Police, senior officer says

Protesters who attempt to disrupt King Charles III’s coronation can expect “very swift action” from the Metropolitan Police, a senior officer has said.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan detailed the force’s operation ahead of Saturday’s event, saying there is “an extremely low threshold” when it comes to disruption.

“Our priority is around safety and security for everyone,” he said.
