On Saturday morning, Charles III was officially proclaimed as King following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8.
The Queen passed away peacefully at Balmoral at the age of 96, following a reign of more than 70 years.
The next few days and weeks will see a number of important events take place following the death of the Queen, including her state funeral, which will likely take place on September 19.

There will also be a number of important changes made in the coming months, including the changing of the title of the national anthem to 'God Save the King' and the updating of stamps.
Members of The Royal Family will also take on new titles, roles, and residencies following Charles III's accession to King, as reported by The Mirror.
Although Charles officially became King the moment his mother passed away, his role was formally confirmed on Saturday morning at the Accession Council ceremony.
The Accession Council is a ceremonial body that convenes in St James's Palace in London following the death of a King or Queen to make an official proclamation of the accession of the successor to the throne.
While this took place just days following the Queen's death, the coronation of King Charles will likely not be held for many months.
The two ceremonies are very different, with the Accession being a solemn and reflective affair, while the coronation will likely be celebratory as the new King looks ahead to the future.
The coronation is the simple act of placing the crown on King Charles III's head. While no date has been set, it is likely to take place next year and will be a bank holiday.
The coronation also refers to the complete ceremony surrounding the placing of the crown.
Queen Elizabeth II's coronation took place on June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey, sixteen months after she became Queen. The event lasted three hours and was the first UK coronation to be broadcast on television.
