A number of tickets have been made available for members of the House of Lords to attend the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort. These have been split between the different parties and groups in the House of Lords, with this split agreed by all parties and groups who will distribute the tickets to peers.

There will be other opportunities for peers to be involved with the Coronation, outside of attending the Coronation service, both on the day itself and in the preceding weeks. These opportunities will be allocated on the same basis with tickets split across all parties and groups.
