King Charles III has been formally crowned with the 360-year-old St Edward's crown during a ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Tens of thousands of royalists gathered in the streets of London today to watch the historic ceremony, the first of it's kind in 70 years.
Around 2,200 people, including Royal members, celebrities, faith leaders and heads of state, are in attendance at Westminster Abbey as they witness King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort take the Coronation Oath.

Charles succeeded his mother Queen Elizabeth when she died last September. At 74, he is now the oldest British monarch to be crowned at the royal church.
He took the coronation oath - a legal requirement - as he placed his hand upon the Holy Gospel. He agreed to uphold the law and the Church of England during his reign and pledged to "perform and keep" those promises.
During the most sacred part of the ceremony, Charles' deep scarlet robe which was previously worn by his grandfather, King George VI, was removed as he sat in the Coronation chair to be anointed.
The monarch was given a shimmering golden coat to wear, called the Supertunica, before the Archbishop of Canterbury placed the 360 year-old crown upon his head - before another "God save the King" from the bishop, and from the congregation. The Abbey bells were rung and gun salutes fired.
Prior to the ceremony police made arrests following a protest led by members of Republic, the anti-monarchy group, as they assembled near Trafalgar Square in London.
The bank holiday weekend is due to be filled with many celebrations as the coronation concert is set to kick off at 8pm on Sunday at Windsor Castle with performances from the likes of Lionel Richie and Take That. Across the nation thousands of street parties will take place to celebrate the occasion with royal themed activities and food.
Pubs have also been ordered to remain open later, with Glasgow venues permitted to close at 1am instead of 12pm to mark the historic event.
