The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III

[Blackleaf]

The King and Queen receive a royal salute on their return to Buckingham Palace following their crowning and enthronement.

Our new boss was dressed in royal purple and wearing the Imperial State Crown for the salute.

Members of the Armed Forces gave three cheers and played God Save The King in Buckingham Palace Garden.

Charles III is now Head of State, Head of the Armed Forces and Head of the Church of England.

The King and Queen are joined by their family, after their successful crowning and enthronement, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

The famous balcony is a focal point of British celebration and mourning during major times of peace and war.

Included upon the balcony were the King's nearest in line to the Throne in descending order: his son Prince William, and William's children Prince George (who was one of his pageboys), Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Also present were his brother the Duke of Edinburgh and his wife.

Like Elizabeth II before him, it's the King's chance to show off his succession.

The King wore the Imperial State Crown and royal purple as the crowds shouted "God Save The King!"...

Charles III is crowned!

The moment the Archbishop of Canterbury places the Crown of St Edward upon the King's head, like the 39 previous monarchs before him since William the Conqueror in 1066 in our great and ancient nation's national church Westminster Abbey.

Vivat Rex Carolus!

Then, the man who will be King after him William pledges his allegiance and kisses his cheek...

Now that it's Coronation Day here and the big event is just hours away it's time to just shove everything related to it into one thread.

yeah, one-thread that bitch!

 

[Blackleaf]

"Vivat Regina Camilla! Vivat Rex Carolus!"

Amazing scenes as the King and Queen entered Westminster Abbey...

 

[Blackleaf]

The King receiving the Orb, Sceptre, other regalia and finally the Crown. The first time we've seen a monarch receiving our precious Crown Jewels since 1953.

History in the the making: only the 40th monarch since 1066

And this hasn't ended. Britain still has two more days of celebrations until we go back to work on Tuesday.

What an ancient ceremony. The King wore the same robes as worn by George IV during his Coronation in 1821.

This is why no one had to 'watch' it.

Blackie was going to do this shit for it so why bother.

Why does the BBC bother covering it? I was watching it on ITV. BBC just wastes its time. Why did the BBC cover it when I watched it on ITV? What's the point of the BBC when I saw it on ITV? The BBC shouldn't exist because I don't watch it.

Sky News shouldn't give us the news, because I can see it on BBC. Get rid of Sky News.

You can see St Edward's Crown here in intricate detail, after it was placed on the King's head.

Made of solid 22-carat gold, the 360-year-old crown is over 30cm (1ft) tall and it’s heavy, weighing about 2.23kg (nearly 5lbs).

Wow, he really looks "enthused"

Wow, he really looks "enthused"

Would you if you were just crowned monarch? Charles has known all his life that this day would happen, and now it's happened to him at the age of 74. He must have been bewildered that after all these years it's finally happened. This is the day he's been waiting for for 74 years. He's going to be emotional.

Forty monarchs have now been crowned since 1066 and how many of them had happy smiley faces during the event? We don't know, because almost all of them have not been photographed or filmed.

Now THAT, ladies and germs, is one butthurt Brit!

Brits always were slow to pick up on technology.

Look, mate, some old drag queen dripping oil on your head is no basis for a system of government! If I went around claiming I was Emperor because some antiquated cross-dresser emptied a fry-pan of grease on my knob, they'd put me away!

But he didn't claim he was King because the Archbishop anointed him. It was the other way around: the Archbishop anointed him because he's the rightful King. That's how it's been done for around 1500 years and is the way of this world. To us it's normal. Our leaders have been anointed with holy oil since Celtic times and we still do it.

Your Presidential Inauguration is weird, but has less history and tradition than the Millennium Dome.

I watched maybe only 5 minutes in all. dispersed between five different 'check in's' with the BBC (because why not) and a couple of AP.

The religious crap needs to be done away with (yes, yes, he's Head of the Anglican Church, I know; my dad would care more than I do as he's Anglican and I'm not).

It's mostly watching and old man sit in an uncomfortable chair in uncomfortable clothes wearing uncomfortable head pieces and holding sticks of metal, meanwhile people around him sing religious music, say religious things, state an oath they don't really mean because in the end the man in the chair with the cloths, headpiece and sticks is just a rung on a political ladder that can be bossed around - despite the appearance of otherwise.

And people like Blackie are why I question 'why bother', even though I actually don't mind the Monarchy at all.

Penny Mordaunt, the Lord President of the Council (and Tory MP for Portsmouth North), gives the Jewelled Sword to King Charles III.

The sword is to be used for good, so for it to be used to this end the King gives it back to Mordaunt who then redeems it for 100 shillings. So she carries a bag containing 100 shillings.

Our British traditions are the envy of the world!

The Greek Orthodox chanting during this part of the Coronation was requested by the King himself in honour of his father Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark.

The religious stuff can't be done away with. The British Coronation is a religious ceremony, you dopey twat.

The British monarch is Head of the Church of England. Thanks to Henry VIII, our monarch is our religious leader, not the Pope.

Roll on 5th November.

Not really. But you're so egoist you think so.

Wow, you call me a dopey twat and yet you can't fucking read. So what's that say about you?

The British monarch is Head of the Church of England.

Again, read.

Here, I'll repost it for you: yes, yes, he's Head of the Anglican Church

Thanks to Henry VIII, our monarch is our religious leader, not the Pope.

He's the Pope in a different position. Only the stupid make it a difference.

And Henry did it to have Power to get what he wanted which is typical British Egoism at it's finest.

Roll on 5th November.

Yes, where you celebrate burning people all for religion. How does that make you better than any other racist/religious xenophobe?
