King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla have been crowned at a coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Thousands of royals fans lined the streets of the coronation procession, which followed the Mall to Trafalgar Square and end at Westminster Abbey.
Police arrested a number of anti-monarchy protesters in the morning, as they gathered to mount a demonstration.
Visitors from London, the UK and all around the world are gathering around central London to celebrate the historic event and catch a glimpse of the King.
The newly crowned King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony, following their coronation at Westminster Abbey.
Their procession through London, of royals and 7,000 troops, was thronged by crowds of spectators. More than 2,200 guests from across the world attended the ceremony at the abbey, a televised spectacle meets power-projecting ritual with a generous dose of religion.
Here’s what to know:
Prince Charles became King Charles III the moment his mother took her last breath in September. But Saturday’s coronation is the big event, when the solid-gold crown was placed on his head in Westminster Abbey.
It’s the first coronation in 70 years, and the pomp was on full display.
