The King entered the Abbey for his crowning to Hubert Paris Anthem, I was glad. The Prince and Princess of Wales took their places with Princess Charlotte and five-year-old Prince Louis.  The King was greeted to his coronation by a chorister.

Your majesty as children of the Kingdom of God we welcome you in the Name of the King of Kings.

In his name and after his example I come not to be served but to serve.

Will you solemnly promise and swear…
The king swore the traditional coronation oath to govern the peoples of the United Kingdom and his other Realms and territories according to their laws.

There was a special composition from the ascension choir.  And then the most sacred moments of the service.  The anointing of the Monarch for which the King was divested of his robe and jacket and moved to the coronation chair which had been screened from view to be anointed with holy oil.

The King knelt before the altar before being dressed in Robes of gold to
receive the coronation regalia.  The orbs scepters and other items some
of which were presented by representatives of other faiths.  And then the moment of the King's crowning.

I now invite those who wish to offer their support to do so.
The congregation in the Abbey recited the homage of the people. 
I swear that I will pay through allegiance cure and your heirs and successes according to law so help me God. 

And then the Queen was crowned.  The culmination of the transformation of the former Camilla Parker Bowles.  The coronation was over.  King Charles and Queen Camilla made their way out of Westminster Abbey.

Waiting in the rain, the gold state coach.  And the parade more than 4,000 members of the armed services which stepped off for Buckingham Palace.

Prince George had rejoined his brother and sister after his page boy duties. The family making their way to the Palace passed the waiting crowds.  And onto the palace balcony for the first time as King came Charles III with
Queen Camilla.  They were joined by the pages and the working members of the Royal Family.  Through the clouds came the red arrows in a curtailed coronation fly past.  Finally on the balcony, it was just the King and Queen.  Charles a crowned Monarch now committed to serve his people.
