Fit for a Coronation!

The Royal Palace of Tonga was expertly spruced up for the Coronation of the Present King of Tonga, HM King George (Siaosi) Tupou V. 

The large tent in front of the Palace hosted the Royal Ball which could not have taken place inside the Royal Palace due to obvious reasons.


Notice the Royal guard on duty to the right. Also notice the extent to which King George Tupou V took to make sure his Coronation was smashing covering the floor of the tent with lush red carpets.

The Royal Palace as you can see has been repainted to shine in glory for the King's Coronation. It must have originally looked like this when it was first built.


The Palace does look truly fitting and perfect for a small kingdom's King! That central tower is absolutely shining like it should with power to show the King's power over the whole Kingdom




 A side view of the Palace here shows the thorough work which was carried out to ensure that the Royal Palace sparkled for the King's special day. Notice the Royal Guards in their white plinth helmets maintaining guard duties and looking after the safety of the guests.

The King, directly in front of the girl with the golden staff arrives at the entrance of the Royal Palace to take his seat and enjoy the festivities and planned events for his luxurious Coronation.
