Millions around the world have tuned in to watch the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey today.
The momentous occasion saw dozens of well-known faces gather at the Abbey, from TV and music stars like Ant and Dec, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie to notable political figures including US First Lady Jill Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. And Brits watching the ceremony unfold may have recognised another politician who played a significant role in the Abbey.
Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt was seen taking part in an ancient tradition during the Coronation. As Lord President of the Council, Mordaunt was tasked with carrying the Sword of State - a huge weapon representing the King's authority that is four feet long and weighs eight pounds, Politico reports.
