Corgis were synonymous with Queen Elizabeth II's long reign, but a new dog breed is ready for its time on the throne: Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

CNN's Anna Stewart attended a gathering on Coronation Day with 180 of the pups, with some donning their own small crowns, who braved the rain with their owners.

"They’re lovely dogs and they’re getting their day, which is really great," one proud owner told CNN.
