A politician’s “Olympic” effort carrying a sword and a yawning Prince Louis were among the lighter highlights for social media users watching the King’s coronation across the world.
The coronation at Westminster Abbey was the top trend worldwide on Twitter on Saturday, with more than half a million tweets posted with the hashtag #Coronation by 1pm.
Among the more unorthodox highlights, many social media users commended Lord President of the Council Penny Mordaunt after she became the first woman to carry the Sword of State into the abbey.
