King Charles III coronation: the key moments

The King and Queen’s Coronation Day was a roaring success on Saturday (6 May) but, with so much going on, there were plenty of moments you might have missed.

From the beginning of the ceremony as The King and Queen entered Westminster Abbey (followed by The Prince and Princess of Wales with their children), to the final balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace, it was an action-packed day.

Guests at the service included the usual former British Prime Ministers and international political figures, as well as some surprise celebrity appearances such as singer Katy Perry looking lovely in pink, who even stopped to take a few selfies.

There were plenty of sweet moments to be seen throughout the day, too. Princess Charlotte could be seen holding Prince Louis’ hand, and the young royals also waved to crowds from the windows of their carriage during the procession back to Buckingham Palace.

The streets were lined with crowds and well-wishers who came out to wave, cheer and show their support, with many braving the rain with the aid of waterproof macs. The King and Queen travelled in two different coaches on the day, leaving in the spectacular Gold State Coach which is more than 200 years old. Weighing four tonnes, it needed to be pulled by no few than eight Windsor Grey horses from the Royal Mews.

Here, we round up all the best moments from the Coronation Day of King Charles and Queen Camilla, to give you a snapshot of everything that happened on the historic day.
