Some Canadians who have travelled to London say it's important for them to be there to witness the first coronation in 70 years.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Governor General Mary Simon, as well as several Indigenous leaders and two Canadian astronauts will be in Westminster Abbey tomorrow morning to watch as Charles is crowned.
