TL;DR Summary

King Charles was crowned and enthroned at Westminster Abbey in a solemn and ritualistic service witnessed by around 2,200 people. The ceremony was deeply Christian, centred on Charles's oath to serve God as well as the people of Britain and 14 Commonwealth realms where he is head of state. The weight of the task given to Charles is only bearable by the Spirit of God, said the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby in his sermon. The last coronation was 70 years ago, and the historic rituals were likely enough to captivate almost all those who watched it.
