Despite a cloudy sky and drizzle, hardy souls emerged from tents and others started flocking into central London Saturday morning to witness what they could of King Charles III’s coronation ceremony.

Among those already in position were friends Bryant and Alicia, from Mobile, Alabama, who arrived in London on Thursday.

“I’ve followed the royal family since Will and Kate’s wedding, and I was anticipating the coronation one day,” Alicia told CBS News.

“We’ve met some great friends,” added Bryant.

“It’s lovely, especially all the people from all over the world!” Alicia said.
