Drone flights banned in central London for King Charles coronation

Among sweeping security measures, police expected to use radar to detect rogue objects in the air

The authorities have banned drone flights in central London as part of the sweeping range of security measures being taken to protect the king’s coronation from possible disruption at lunchtime on Saturday.

The action comes a couple of days after two drones, most likely operated by pro-Ukrainian groups, managed to fly over presidential offices at the Kremlin in Moscow, the historic centre of Russian government.
