    In case you don't know what the lampreys refers to, King Henry I died in December 1135 after eating too many lampreys. And yet, nearly 900 years later, his ancestor has just been crowned Charles III. That's continuity for you. George Washington seems like last week to Brits.

    The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III

    As at every Coronation since that of George II in 1727, Zadok the Priest rang out. As the screens were brought out to shield him from view and as the Archbishop of Canterbury anointed him with holy oil, Zadok the Priest sang out, as the King received the holy oil on his forehead, hands and...

    The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III

    The flypast has been delayed a bit due to the weather, but the RAF is optimistic it will still go ahead, because we're British. The RAF defeated the Luftwaffe so it will defeat the rain. Expect to see the RAF flying over Buckingham Palace as royals stand on the balcony - so very British.
