police say they have made 52 arrests during the ceremony. in the newsroom is daniel sandford. you were down, we spoke to daniel earl yerp. he is not in the newsroom. the day started early this morning with protesters setting up a main base on trafalgar square and actually very soon quite a few of the protest organisers were arrested. they were unloading placards and they were taken away to a police station. i interviewed a protester in handcuffs before he was taken away and he said the police had raised questions about luggage straps holding placards on the back of their van, saying they could be used to lock on. it is now an offence to lock on during a protest under laws passed this week. the protests went ahead anyway.

they were very loud, persistent chants of not my king. and other perhaps more rude anti—monarchy slogans. it built to a crescendo for when the king came past for the first time in his carriage. all through the service, being relayed on speakers, whenever there was a change of tone, protesters were chanting, not my king and down with the crown. when the archbishop of canterbury crowned king charles and said god save the king, again, huge chanting, not my king. when the king came past in the golden carriage it would have been impossible for him not to have heard _ the chanting from this noisy but probably not that large, maybe 200, 300 group of protesters basing _ themselves at trafalgar square. plenty more the next few days, what charges were brought and what

communication because as a set little earlier graham smith from republic was here talking to us last night and in his mind was very clear about where he could be, how they would be allowed to protest and they had informed the police about how many were coming and what they were going to do. something went awry when they arrived at trafalgar square us we will try to find out more about that certainly daniel is looking into that more deeply. with the site uk investor for the commonwealth. i'm pleased you're here because we have not touched the commonwealth for a time and what is really important, we were talking to someone injamaica a little earlier about how young people feel there about how young people feel there about the events of today. how do you think it will have been received around the commonwealth? historical moment today — around the commonwealth? historical moment today of _ around the commonwealth? historical moment today of people _ around the commonwealth? historical moment today of people all— around the commonwealth? historical moment today of people all across - moment today of people all across the commonwealth will be watching i think for— the commonwealth will be watching i think for young people come up from the commonwealth, they will be looking — the commonwealth, they will be looking at this as a reflective period — looking at this as a reflective period. re—examining the role of the

who did volunteering work. we ran a food delivery service. we made food boxes every day for more than 500 families, delivering it around 2500 meals for care homes. older people, with whom we do a lot of work, were going to be so isolated during lockdown and we thought they had how to get their prescriptions and food. were you in the food business before? no, it was unprompted. we are community minded and our own business looks after older people in terms of social activities, and in lockdown everything shuts down. julian, you did great work but were you surprised when you got the invitation, tell us about the moment it arrived. astonished. it arrived as an e—mail- and we thought it was a scam. i phoned maria. one of the things it said _ was there was no plus ones allowed. we had to make sure she had an invitation as well. - otherwise, divorce.

we started to google addresses and telephone numbers - for the cabinet office to make sure it wasn't a scam. _ we found out it wasn't and i burst into tears. | when did you get the invite? one week after our flat had been destroyed by fire, i and everything in it. when we got the invitation i on the first thing we said to each other was, i've got nothing to wear! and you meant it. i borrowed a jacket and someone made... luckily the hat wasn't in the fire. you would never know, you look fantastic. a friend of ours who was no longer with us, sadly, i i was lent this by his widow. i am so proud. let's talk about the regalia. you have your orders of service. can you hold them up to the camera. the coronation of their majesties king charles and queen camilla, with the date. it was very moving and i think

it celebrated, apart from the volunteers that are there, the diversity of this country, which i don't think people always recognise how the king has led that. if you think over 50 years ago he was giving speeches about the perils of plastic and the environment and organic farming and things, and all those things are what young people today are concerned about and he was talking about them 50 years ago and he has been consistent, carrying on, and it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate that. i was watching, and katty knows i am a student body language, so i want to know what you thought about the king and his body language but also i was noticing people, there were some people curtsying and some people bowing. what did you do? i did a curtsy, and i think a lot of people did. most people in front of us did. it could be a bit of an age thing, i don't know. and what about his demeanour? he looked happy but anxious -

going on and very happy coming out. he looked anxious going in but he came down with just the white shirt, that was very moving, to see him stripped of everything and for it to be rebuilt and i'm sure it was a very spiritual moment for him because we really felt it. before you go, we were commenting earlier that if you are sitting in the abbey there is a lot we saw on television. because the coronation chair has its back to the congregation, did you see all those moments and if you didn't, how did it feel? there are screens in there, j television screens in there, so you can see a lot of it. they are wonderfully _ camouflaged against the pillows when they are not being used, cleverly done. i but it's all about the atmosphere. what we want to take back, i to the 150 volunteers we have, because they should have been there. we want to share it with them.

the fact 20% of the congregation was made up of ordinary people like us shows how much the king is committed to that area of social activity and building communities. and besides the king, was there anyone famous you saw? we were sat opposite ant and dec. they were in the cheap seats too! that's the most excited christian has been all day. did antand dec bow? there was a king and queen there as well. we saw gyles brandreth coming out and there was a wonderful - chief constable taking selfies i with everybody so we introduce the two of them so she could take a selfie with him. i luckily she was in traffic.

speaking to us little earlier who were in the congregation at the abbey, someone who was action taken part in the ceremony is the bishop of london, sarah and of course this is the first time that female members of the clergy have taken part of a coronation here in the uk. thank you forjoining us i love watching you in that that there are a fact that there were women taking part. full disclosure that did make _ women taking part. full disclosure that did make me very _ women taking part. full disclosure that did make me very happy i women taking part. full disclosure that did make me very happy and. women taking part. full disclosure i that did make me very happy and you read from the gospel according to saint luke, as you're walking up the aisle there was this incredible book that was being led ahead of you. tell us about your moment. it’s tell us about your moment. it's robabl tell us about your moment. it's probably the — tell us about your moment. it�*s probably the oldest book of gospel, 700 which is specifically requested by his majesty the king so it was wonderful to be able to process behind it through the choir down and then to read luke's hospital. at that moment. it is a real privilege. —— luke's gospel.

large number of people that were there as well. it large number of people that were there as well.— there as well. it struck me that before cameras, _ there as well. it struck me that before cameras, even - there as well. it struck me that before cameras, even before i there as well. it struck me that i before cameras, even before the congregation, of course people around the country will have seen it on television because they did not have cameras before but even congregation, there was a whole portion, segment of the service that they were not have seen in the congregation because the coronation chair has its back to the coronation. and i wondered, i it had not occurred to me before i wondered if that was deliberate, part of how the service meant to be. that it was an intimate moment between the king and the archbishop and the bishops and the archbishop and the bishops and god. i and the archbishop and the bishops and god. ~ . and the archbishop and the bishops and god. ~ , .. , and god. i think it is exactly that and god. i think it is exactly that and in a sense _ and god. i think it is exactly that and in a sense the _ and god. i think it is exactly that and in a sense the services i and god. i think it is exactly that. and in a sense the services before god. we are there as the congregation to witness it but it is before god. and i think that reminder is that very physical reminder. that's why it always faced east. for me in the rehearsal that is what struck me, that it is in that space was in fact in an intimate space. even though the abbey is huge. it was a very

intimate space and therefore it was that moment between the king and god and reminds us that he was committing to a life of service and that moment right at the beginning of the service when it was a chris from the chapels were who's at the first thing and the king's response was to say that he has come to serve, not to be served. so i think it has that wonderful humility and at its heart i think that is why that spaces intimate, facing away from the congregation, eastwards towards god. from the congregation, eastwards towards god-— from the congregation, eastwards towards god. luckily, the fact that it was a child. _ towards god. luckily, the fact that it was a child, coming _ towards god. luckily, the fact that it was a child, coming before i towards god. luckily, the fact that it was a child, coming before a i towards god. luckily, the fact that | it was a child, coming before a king and the king was the servant of the child. ithink and the king was the servant of the child. i think that was a very powerful way to open the service. your reading, tell me about it. was it chosen for you, is it there in any coronation? how much of the coronation is written down in advance and cannot deviate and how

much is there room for flexibility? a lot of the roots habits history way back. over 1000 years so a lot of it is historical but there were changes this year. in fact the gospel was a different gospel this year and of course is the archbishop of canterbury with the king that makes these decisions. so it was a new gospel reading this year. it has not always been used, but there are other changes around trying to make this more relevant to our contemporary society. so while it was a christian service at its heart it also gives space to those of other faiths within —— it also gives space to those of otherfaiths within —— integrity could be part of the service post system changes were related to accessibility and other changes were made between conversations between his majesty the king and the archbishop. his majesty the king and the archbishop-— his majesty the king and the archbisho. �*, ., ,, ., archbishop. let's talk about the number of _ archbishop. let's talk about the number of women _ archbishop. let's talk about the number of women because i i archbishop. let's talk about the number of women because i am thinking back to the 1953 coronation, obviously we heard from her majesty, did we hearfrom any other women? her majesty, did we hearfrom any otherwomen? in her majesty, did we hearfrom any other women? in april of service? were there any other women involved

apart from the lease of waiting at helping her, i cannot believe that there were other women involved? i certainly think i would have to go and check, not that i can recall at that time, women were not ordained bishops so therefore at a time where we now have women ordained who were priests and bishops you would expect to see them. but also there was some representation from our mps as well and also peers were women and one of the lovely things for me was that team elizabeth who is also a nurse and she came and walked. part of the order of merit. so there were some other women that reflect other parts of life and there is any taylor who is a petty officer in the royal navy so there were other women there as well who would not have been there in 1953. , well who would not have been there in 1953. y ., ., , , ., ~ well who would not have been there in 1953. y ., ,, .,~ ., in 1953. penny mordaunt speaking a little earlier. _ in 1953. penny mordaunt speaking a little earlier, the _ in 1953. penny mordaunt speaking a little earlier, the lord _ in 1953. penny mordaunt speaking a little earlier, the lord president i little earlier, the lord president who was there the whole time. she was and she _ who was there the whole time. ’iie: was and she was so who was there the whole time. 5“ie: was and she was so dignified. caring quite a large heavy sword and she

was just poised and i think there was just poised and i think there was lot of women out there today who will look up to her because she just did a wonderful, wonderful altogether.— did a wonderful, wonderful altoaether. ., ~' ., ., . . altogether. you know that church attendance _ altogether. you know that church attendance is _ altogether. you know that church attendance is declining _ altogether. you know that church attendance is declining in i altogether. you know that church attendance is declining in the i attendance is declining in the country as it is in many western nations, do you think, it would be to say that watching a coronation like this, perhaps i was struck by the religious nature of the coronation of the topmost thought it was a celebration of putting a crown on and as you have pointed out it is a church, anglican service, do you think, will there be a few more people in church tomorrow do you think? i people in church tomorrow do you think? ~' people in church tomorrow do you think? ~ ., ., think? i think we found through the death of her _ think? i think we found through the death of her majesty _ think? i think we found through the death of her majesty as _ think? i think we found through the death of her majesty as well i think? i think we found through the death of her majesty as well as i think? i think we found through the death of her majesty as well as the | death of her majesty as well as the coronation of his majesty the king that people often want to express something and they don't quite know how to do it. so a lot of people do therefore come to their churches because there are churches at the heart of every community. so i think we have seen those bits that people

to come and counter the church stuff of course churches today have been open for prayers and services but also for showing the coronation. there will be more services tomorrow and there will be parties as well for to on monday are churches will be involved in the community with the big help out. so i think what we see is increasingly, churches are places where people go. i think it is very complex about why numbers are dwindling but often people, more people come maybe not as often as the use too. so we have seen over the use too. so we have seen over the last three years, whether it is the last three years, whether it is the pandemic, the death of her majesty or the coronation, people engaging in new ways, people who maybe have never engaged with the church before. haifa maybe have never engaged with the church before.— church before. how will he be a different leader _ church before. how will he be a different leader of _ church before. how will he be a different leader of the - church before. how will he be a different leader of the church i different leader of the church because we have heard of the questions on the defender of the faith or defender of faiths and i wonder if that now all seems a little bit of a teacup after the coronation was clearly an angle can coronation. how will he changes the

leader of the church of england? == leader of the church of england? -- anglican. what we have seen with his majesty's is that he is built on his mothers legacy. very soon after her death he spoke about his anglican and christian roots. how that gave him the sort of confidence to create a space just as a church of england has been doing so that others of faith or no faith can have freedom of expression and protection. and i'm almost certain that he will continue on that legacy. i think what we have all seen as a king who, at his heart, has something to say about the church and his christian face. i'm almost certain that we will see that in his reign as he goes on. as king.— will see that in his reign as he goes on. as king. you made it through. _ goes on. as king. you made it through. time _ goes on. as king. you made it through, time for— goes on. as king. you made it through, time for a _ goes on. as king. you made it through, time for a bit i goes on. as king. you made it through, time for a bit of- goes on. as king. you made it through, time for a bit of a i goes on. as king. you made it i through, time for a bit of a rest. i imagine it has been a lot of weight on your shoulders. thank you very much, we loved to watch it. the bishop of london speaking to us

part of the service, the king was shielded from public view by screens — while choristers sang handel's zadok the priest — performed at every coronation since the early eighteenth century. prince william also made a pledge of loyalty to king charles, before members of the congregation were invited to offer their own support. thousands of people lined the streets to see the king and queen as they returned to buckingham palace in the gold state coach first used in 1831. the flag—waving crowd cheered as the coach drawn by eight horses drove by. they were accompanied by a procession made up of four thousand military personnel marching in step. a short while afterwards the new king and queen appeared on the balcony of buckingham palace with other members of the royal family, although the king's brother, the duke of york, prince andrew, and his son the duke of sussex, prince harry, were not there.

the watching royals were treated to a military fly past over the palace which included the iconic red arrows. a huge security operation is in place for the event. several hundred anti—monarchy protestors in trafalgar square jeered during the service, as it was relayed to crowds. several demonstrators were arrested — that followed the passing of a new law in britain this week to toughen rules on public protests. let's take a look at the day's events so far. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has been watching events. london. the 6th of may 2023, coronation day. in the abbey at westminster where these things have been done for nearly a thousand years, a congregation to represent the britain of today had come together with honoured guests

from the wider world. the flags of the realms, the 1a other nations of which the british monarch is also head of state, were borne in procession. at buckingham palace, the military detachments were drawn up. the only blemish, the weather. as predicted it left a lot to be desired. the king and the queen consort left buckingham palace in steady rain. at the abbey, the king's family were taking their places. the duke of sussex making a brief visit to london without his wife and the duke of york making a brief appearance in public, wearing the robes of a knight of the garter.

attended by prince george, who was one of the pages, and dressed in his robes of state, the king entered the abbey for his crown to hubert parry�*s 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. i solemnly promise so to do. there was a special composition from the ascension choir. and then the most sacred moments of the service... # zadok the priest #.

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, sceptres and other items, some of which were presented by representatives of other faiths. and then the moment of the king's crowning.

god save the king! god save the king. the prince of wales pledged his loyalty. faith aye truth i will bear unto you. _ faith aye truth i will bear unto you. as — faith aye truth i will bear unto you. as your— faith aye truth i will bear unto you, as your liege _ faith aye truth i will bear unto you, as your liege man - faith aye truth i will bear unto you, as your liege man of- faith aye truth i will bear unto you, as your liege man of lifel faith aye truth i will bear unto . you, as your liege man of life and limb. _ you, as your liege man of life and limb. so — you, as your liege man of life and limb. so help— you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me _ you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me god. _ god save the king! god save king charles. the family watched. harry in the third row from the front. 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 true allegiance to your majesty and to your heirs and

successors 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 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

princess eugenie. : it seems sad he was a solitary figure and then back to california. it is his son's fourth birthday. but obviously previous years he would have been such a big part of this. there was part of me thought he might step out to the ball cooney. == balcony. part of me thought he might step out to the ball cooney.. balcony.- to the ball cooney. -- balcony. an alternative — to the ball cooney. -- balcony. an alternative journey _ to the ball cooney. -- balcony. an alternative journey taken - to the ball cooney. -- balcony. an alternative journey taken by - to the ball cooney. -- balcony. an| alternative journey taken by queen camilla, it would have been unthinkable 20 years ago and two women alongside her, she did away with ladies in waiting. who were the two women that were with her? timer;r two women that were with her? they looked similar— two women that were with her? they looked similar to _ two women that were with her? they looked similar to her. _ two women that were with her? t"i2 looked similar to her. they were both wearing white dress and had similar hair styles. they are her

a bit like cricket? not a bad and si. there have been protests, the police say they have arrested more than 50 people in london. our correspondent reports on those who were not celebrating the coronation. the protesters were at trafalgar square. but some of the protest leaders were arrested. we found one organiser in handcuffs. he said police had mistaken luggage straps for item that could be used to lock on to furniture. the for item that could be used to lock on to furniture.— on to furniture. the rules are the exception — on to furniture. the rules are the exception of _ on to furniture. the rules are the exception of the _ on to furniture. the rules are the exception of the concept - on to furniture. the rules are the exception of the concept and - on to furniture. the rules are the | exception of the concept and they cannot be opposition.— exception of the concept and they cannot be opposition. human rights u-rous cannot be opposition. human rights groups said — cannot be opposition. human rights groups said the _ cannot be opposition. human rights groups said the arrests _ cannot be opposition. human rights groups said the arrests set - cannot be opposition. human rights groups said the arrests set a - groups said the arrests set a dangerous precedent, on the back of new protest laws passed this week.

but the demonstration went ahead without its leaders. the service is being relayed to the crowd and every time the name king charles is mentioned, the anti—monarchy demonstrators start chanting, not my king. among the thousands in london, this was a protest by a few hundred people, but to the annoyance of others, they made their voices heard, even as the king rode back to the palace. there will be more debate about that in the morning papers and we will see what charges are made again vs those who were arrested. but king charles has been crowned, a ceremony rich with music, symbolism and we will end this hour with some of the highlights of the day from the coronation.
