King Charles III has been anointed and crowned in a display of pomp and pageantry that sought to marry 1000 years of history with a monarchy fit for a new era.
In front of a congregation including about 2000 people and a television audience of millions, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual leader of the Anglican Church, slowly placed the 360-year-old St Edward’s Crown on Charles’ head as he sat upon a 14th-century throne in Westminster Abbey.
