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 of more than 4000 members of the armed services which stepped off for buckingham palace. prince george had rejoined his brother and sister after his pageboy duties, the family making their way to the palace past the waiting crowds. and onto the palace balcony for the first time as king came charles iii with queen camilla, joined by the pages and working members of the royal family. through the clouds came the red arrows in a curtailed coronation fly—past. finally, on the balcony,

welcome back to buckingham palace. the archbishop of canterbury had promised a day full of history and a joyful occasion and so it proved in spite of the rain and clouds above us, tens of thousands have been here outside buckingham palace today, as well as katty kay, who has been co—presenting with me and is back now. what did you make of it? i thought it was lovely, the service was lovely and moving. it struck me in days before television cameras the coronation wouldn't have even seen the coronation, the crowning part because the king has his back to the congregation the whole time so they would have seen him at the beginning, he goes up and all the important moments we were lucky to witness with the 0rb, the sceptres and sword, all those ancient anachronisms that are part of the history and symbolism, they wouldn't have seen. it's notjust that they
