Republicans who have gathered in Trafalgar Square for a Not My King protest are currently outnumbered by royal fans.
The campaign group Republic hopes between 1,500 to 2,000 people will gather from 8am but by 7am there were only around 30 in attendance.
The group plans for the protest to be visible when the newly crowned King and Queen Camilla pass through Trafalgar Square on their way from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace in the Gold State Coach.
A large yellow banner has been unveiled with the words “abolish the monarchy”, while badges and T-shirts with the slogan “not my king” were being worn by demonstrators.
Hundreds of royal fans were in front of them facing The Mall in a bid to get a prime spot when the royal procession passes.
Many were wearing Union Jack hats or plastic crowns, while a heavy police presence was also present.
