STORY: "It was just emotional. Just really pleased that today has come. We've got a new King, he's been crowned. It was just a wonderful day and lovely to see him with his family as well," Royal fan Ken Jaeggi said. The newly-crowned King Charles III appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony on Saturday, next to his wife, Queen Camilla. A fly-past by military jets was scaled back due to weather conditions, said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence. Charles III was anointed and crowned on Saturday in Britain's biggest ceremonial event for seven decades, a sumptuous display of pageantry dating back 1,000 years.

STORY: In front of a congregation of about 100 world leaders 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. The historic and solemn event dates back to the time of the 74-year-old's predecessor William the Conqueror in 1066.

STORY: Some of the soldiers were dressed in ceremonial military uniforms and tall bearskin hats, as they exited the gates of the central London terminus on the National Rail network. More than 5,000 members of the British armed forces are taking part in the coronation ceremony, joined by soldiers from more than 30 Commonwealth countries to form one of the largest ceremonial military operations in decades. Watched by about 100 heads of state and dignitaries, Charles will be crowned on Saturday at Westminster Abbey, which has staged all coronations since William the Conqueror back in 1066. The Order of Service says the rite of coronation has been modified through the centuries, adapting to changing needs, and Charles' ceremony will for the first time include a procession of faith leaders and the involvement of those who "reflect the diversity of the United Kingdom and its peoples, in striking contrast to seventy years ago."
