King Charles III formally heard 'God Save the King' being sung for the first time in person today - and looked 'visibly moved'. A wave of national transformation is now in full swing as once-in-a-generation procedures that have been decades in the planning are put into action after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.
The new monarch was receiving the motion of condolence at Westminster Hall today - and sat on his throne for the first time as the monarch along with Queen Camilla. After the Speaker of the House of Lords pledged his loyalty and Charles addressed Parliament for the first time since becoming monarch, those gathered began singing the new version of the national anthem.
