Bishop says 'one or two things' went wrong at King's Coronation today

A member of the clergy has admitted there were "one or two" hiccups during King Charles' coronation service. The Bishop of Chelmsford, Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani, said about the historic event that "there were one or two things that didn’t go strictly to plan."

Speaking outside St Margaret’s Church next to Westminster Abbey the bishop said: “I’m not going to embarrass anyone in particular."

During the service, the Archbishop of Canterbury spent several seconds adjusting the crown as King Charles III was officially crowned. As St Edward’s Crown was placed on the King’s head, there was complete silence in Westminster Abbey as the congregation stood for the occasion.
