During the coronation weekend, train and Tube travellers in the United Kingdom may hear some recognisable voices.
King Charles and Queen Camilla have made a special announcement for TfL and Network Rail, advising passengers to "Mind the gap."
"My wife and I wish you and your families a wonderful Coronation weekend," Charles begins the message, which will greet passengers at stations throughout the United Kingdom.
Camilla, 75, goes on, "Wherever you are going, we wish you a safe and pleasant journey."
Then Charles adds, "And remember, please mind the gap."
The statement was made on the Royal Family Twitter account on Friday morning, with the comment, "Sound familiar? Look out for Their Majesties on @TfL and @NetworkRail this #Coronation weekend... and remember to #MindTheGap."

"The message was recorded by Their Majesties at Highgrove earlier this year by the audio team from Transport for London," the Rail Delivery Group said in a press release.
Charles' private property in Gloucestershire, England, is Highgrove House.
From May 5 to May 8, the message will be shown across all 2,570 UK rail stations and 270 London Underground stations.
TfL commissioner Andy Lord stated, "With less than one day until the Coronation, we look forward to welcoming Londoners and visitors from around the world." We are thrilled to accompany the festivities with a special station announcement from their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla across our network."
The Rail Delivery Group's chief executive, Jacqueline Starr, adding, "The Coronation is a rare and exciting event, and we very much look forward to welcoming passengers with this special message."It's fantastic that their majesties have included rail passengers in this historic time."
Kate Middleton and Prince William travelled by train on London's Elizabeth Line to the Dog & Duck Pub in Soho on Thursday to learn more about how the pub has been preparing for the coronation.
After their time inside the pub, Kate and William talked with the crowd, and one well-wisher exclusively told HotGossipNewz that Princess Kate stated she was apprehensive about the crowning ceremony — but that her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are not!
"When I asked if the kids were excited about the coronation, she replied, 'They're very excited.'" They had their dress rehearsal yesterday, so they knew what to anticipate." HotGossipNewz spoke with Mandy Leifheit of Seattle, Washington, about her conversation with Kate.
"She said she's more nervous than the kids because it's such a big event for the kids." "She said Louis will be there and remember it," Leifheit, 48, added.
Both William and George are expected to attend the event at Westminster Abbey in London, where Charles and Camilla will be officially crowned in front of 2,200 guests.
While William will pay tribute to his father, King Charles, George will act as a Page of Honour to his grandpa. On Wednesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales brought George, Charlotte, 8, and Louis, 5, to a rehearsal at Westminster Abbey.
