King Charles III is in Westminster where he will shortly deliver the King's Speech to Parliament.
The speech will lay out the government's plans for the year ahead and marks the normal start of the parliamentary year.
It's Charles' first King's Speech as monarch, but he stepped in for his mother, the late Queen, in May 2022.
Tougher sentences for murderers and more powers for the police are among 20 laws that Rishi Sunak's government will announce.
The last King to oversee the State Opening of Parliament - a glittering spectacle in central London - was George VI, in 1950.
The PM says the speech represents his vision of "a better Britain", Labour say it amounts to a "pretty pathetic programme of tinkering".
