CLUTCHING golden sceptres and bedecked in the Robe Royal, Charles III heard four words echo through Westminster Abbey at the moment of his crowning glory.
"God save the King", declared the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby.
"God save the King!" replied 2,300 guests at the most historic royal , occasion in 70 years.
It was noon, halfway through the Coronation. An event full of pomp and ceremony, solemnity and energy - from the grand, ritualistic presentation of swords and jewels to the swaying rendition of Alleluia by the Ascension Choir.
At the heart of it, King Charles and newly crowned Queen Camilla who would emerge to a rain-soaked London - but lifted by thunderous cheers from tens of thousands.
The Coronation, a ceremony dating back to William the Conqueror in 1066, put Charles at the heart of the action for the first time after becoming the longest heir apparent in history.
World leaders, politicians, royalty, VIPs and everyday heroes witnessed the most diverse and inclusive royal ceremony ever.
