London: King Charles III was on Saturday crowned the new King of the United Kingdom. The Coronation Ceremony took place at Westminster Abbey in London.
The king and his wife, Camilla, the queen consort, travelled from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey - a distance of 2.2-km - at a stately pace in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach bearing a gilded crown.
The event marked about seven decades since the last coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. After the ceremony, Charles III became the 40th monarch crowned at Westminster Abbey, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
The King entered through the great west door of the abbey. He wore a long dark red robe as he slowly proceeded through the church behind his wife, Camilla.
The King was greeted by a congregation of around 2,200 - made up of heads of state and government, worldwide royalty as well as community champions.
