<p>The Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla was an historic
and hugely important occasion, which brought hundreds of thousands of people out to
the streets of London – and around the whole kingdom – to celebrate. To ensure that
the event was safe and well-ordered, a number of services were sub-contracted, including
the provision of additional CCTV where necessary. This was done to help manage crowds,
ensuring the safety of the public along the Procession.</p><p>As is standard in commercial
arrangements like this, HM Government was not asked to approve the use of specific
cameras. These cameras were temporarily installed at street level along the route
of the procession, and were removed immediately after the weekend of the Coronation.
The cameras were not part of the security arrangements for the Coronation. The cameras
were standalone CCTV cameras which were connected to a secure UK private event network
which cannot be accessed or shared outside the country.</p>
