The crown that King Charles is set to wear at next year's Coronation has been removed from the Tower of London in a top-secret operation before being resized, Buckingham Palace has revealed.
The ultra-high security operation took place under the cover of darkness on Friday evening.
The St Edward's Crown was transported under armed guard to a secret location where it will now be resized for King Charles's Coronation on Saturday 6 May in Westminster Abbey.
Mark Appleby, of Mappin and Webb, who has been the Crown Jeweller since 2017, will spend the next few months working away to ensure the diamond-encrusted crown is big enough to fit the new King.
It is believed that several 'fittings' will be required to ensure it is a good fit.
