The Mall, an iconic thoroughfare leading to Buckingham Palace, was transformed into a regal spectacle, adorned with elegant arches that spanned the road. These arches, constructed from an array of vibrant flowers, foliage, and twinkling lights, created a magical atmosphere, setting the tone for the historic event.
