emma campbell reporting. the 40th monarch to be crowned at westminster abbey. god save the king! in a day of pomp and pageantry not seen in this country for seven decades. fanfare. the historic images shown on big screens around the uk. tens of thousands of people braving the inclement weather to be a part of the celebrations. into the night, coronation tributes continued. the day had begun with a procession from buckingham palace. king charles and queen camilla gave the waiting crowds the first waves of the day. as expected, there was some protest, with the metropolitan police making around

50 arrest on the day. and westminster abbey, a congregation of more than 2000 people were waiting. there were heads of state, famous faces, and hundreds of community and charity representatives. the king's family took their seats, including prince harry, attending without his wife meghan, and prince andrew in a rare public appearance. dressed in his robes of state, the king entered the abbey. the prince and princess of wales, along with eight—year—old princess charlotte and five—year—old prince louis took their places on the front row.

prince george was a page of honour. the king was greeted 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, to be served, but to serve. this, sung by the accession choir, one of 12 pieces of music composed for the service. the king swore the traditional coronation oath to govern the peoples of the united kingdom and the realms according to their laws. and then, in the most sacred part of the service, he was divested of his robes,

and behind a screen, anointed with holy oil. the king was adorned with the glittering regalia of monarchy. the sort of state carried by penny mordaunt, lord president of the council. other items were presented by representatives of other faiths. and, finally, since edwards crown, made from solid gold and last worn by queen elizabeth ii at her coronation. faith and truth i will be unto you, as your legia man of life faith and truth i will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me god.

the kings son and heir, prince william, knelt and paid homage to his father. and then it was the turn of the king's wife, camilla, to be crowned by the archbishop of canterbury. bells peal. waiting outside, more than 4,000 military personnel. the coronation procession set off just after one o'clock with the newly crowned monarchs in the gold state coach. behind them, the prince and princess of wales and their three children. once the procession had returned to buckingham palace, the mall was opened, allowing the crowds a closer look at the balcony and the king and queen. prince william joined with his family,

including the reliably demonstrative prince louis. prince harry, who was not invited to join them, was already on his way to the airport. the weather required the coronation fly—past to be scaled back, but it still provided a spectacular image with which to end the proceedings. sarah campbell, bbc news. the reliably demonstrative princely. i like the way that sarah described him there. so we looked up in the skies at the aircraft yesterday, today things come back down to earth at windsor castle this big coronation party, the big royal celebration. forthe coronation party, the big royal celebration. for the crowds who come here, if you are leaving home this morning and heading to windsor, you might like to see this. this is the closest pub to the castle, the two brewers, fantastically bedecked for the occasion, as you would expect. it is the closest pub to the castle itself, i am sure they will be having a busy day, lots of barrels on standby for what is likely to be a crazy bit of business. that was

fantastic. wejoin now long walk, approaching the castle, our correspondent helena wilkinson. we have just been reflecting on those images that will last a lifetime. 0n the face of it, despite the protest and some controversies, on the face of it, the royal household, the authorities, they will be very pleased with how it went? it authorities, they will be very pleased with how it went? it went incredibly well, _ pleased with how it went? it went incredibly well, ran _ pleased with how it went? it went incredibly well, ran like _ pleased with how it went? it went | incredibly well, ran like clockwork, but of course don't forget, the rehearsals have been going on for months and months, but this country does that kind of thing incredibly well. we saw thousands of military out on the streets, and the processions, and i think obviously the moment when the crown was placed carefully on the king's head, but was an incredibly special moment. i was an incredibly special moment. i was watching from outside the abbey, you wonder what was going through the king's minded up point. the last person to wear that ground was his mother. the weight of history, is that ground was placed on his head.

so it went incredibly well. lots of lovely moments, we saw prince louis, penny mordaunt as well, she was a bit of a star yesterday, the mp and leader of the commons. she was having to hold those two ceremonial swords for a very long time. she did well as well. all very smooth. prince harry, we saw him coming very swiftly had to the uk and leaving straight after the ceremony, we understand he was not actually invited to be on that balcony afterwards, when we saw that fly past, so he headed back to america, where his son is celebrating his birthday. he where his son is celebrating his birthda . , , , where his son is celebrating his birthda. , _ birthday. he is probably there by now, birthday. he is probably there by now. back _ birthday. he is probably there by now. back in _ birthday. he is probably there by now, back in los— birthday. he is probably there by now, back in los angeles. - birthday. he is probably there by now, back in los angeles. i - birthday. he is probably there by now, back in los angeles. i saw| birthday. he is probably there by l now, back in los angeles. i saw an interview with penny mordaunt where she said she had been doing press ups to strengthen her arms for all that sword carrying. they were really happy swords, won't they? find really happy swords, won't they? and she was so really happy swords, won't they? fific she was so composed. really happy swords, won't they? and she was so composed. absolutely, i she was so composed. absolutely, throu . h she was so composed. absolutely, through the _ she was so composed. absolutely, through the whole _ she was so composed. absolutely, through the whole thing. - she was so composed. absolutely, | through the whole thing. questions this morning in the papers and a lot of the country about security and the to security, the police can handle some of the protests that

happened. what we know about that? absolutely. there are some questions about how the metropolitan police handled some of the protest yesterday. there were some in trafalgar square, 52 people were arrested yesterday over the coronation day, including graham smith, the head of the group republic, that is the group that wants to scrap the monarchy. he was held in custody for 16 hours, released last night, when he was released last night, when he was released he said that he found it, human rights groups, rather, said they found it alarming that people were being arrested. some people, we saw videos that they were wearing t—shirt saying "not making". they were detained. lots of questions this morning about how the metropolitan police handled those protests, and the right to protest, so 52 people arrested, some still in custody, but as i said, graham smith, head of republic, has now been released. questions about how the metropolitan police handled it.

holiday weekend. but is this afternoon from 12:30pm on bbc one and on bbc iplayer. thank you very much indeed. 1000 tables will be there at the prom in morecambe. i'm going to a street party in south london. do get in touch if you are having a street party. would love to see is. 1230, bbc one. one heck of a party here at windsor castle. 20,000 people will be coming up here, the white tent is security. they had to go through security. they had to go through security before going through the gates onto the east lawn on the stage we've had a hint of, we've seen an impression of it, the stage on which lionel richie, take that, katy perry and others will perform including the coronation choir. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has been inside. he can tell

us what we need to do. # yeah, you and me, we can light up the sky. yes, in just a few hours' time, this is where take that will be belting out a familiar hit or two. # oh, what a feeling. # when we're dancing on the ceiling. and international star lionel richie will be delighting the crowds here, too. it's going to be so much fun. and first of all, does this ever happen? no. this is a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity, so to be a part of it is everything. but it won'tjust be chart—topping household names that will be taking to this stage in just a few hours' time. this is a concert aims to celebrate a whole range of arts and music and at the other end of the cultural spectrum, one of the centrepieces will be a unique collaboration between various bodies that have long enjoyed royal patronage. # there's a time for us. this song from west side story

will bring together organisations, including the royal opera chorus. the king has been a long—standing supporter of theirs and others' work. we're very grateful for that and i think that's why it means a lot for us to be performing for him on sunday. it feels like we're paying him back for... yeah, yeah! ..for his love of the arts over the years, so it's really lovely. # time to care. # some day. as well as there being contributions from others, including the royal shakespeare company, two of the royal ballet's principal dancers will perform a specially choreographed routine to it. how important and how special this moment is in history, really, and to make a small part of it, it's just so beautiful. it feels very special to be a part of all of the royal artists dancing and performing on so many different ways so, yes, i think it's definitely a once—in—a—lifetime experience.

# going to be brighter days. # brighter days. while most of those taking part will be professionals, many of whom will have performed for royalty in the past, this special coronation choir is made up of amateur singers from across the uk. # though it seems distant, know the world will change | few of them will ever have dreamt of not only performing in honour of the king... # baby, you're a firework! ..but also sharing the stage with the likes of katy perry, who is sure to be bringing a huge degree of spectacle to tonight's event. lizo mzimba, bbc news, windsor castle. what a day and what a night it's going to be, especially here at windsor. those people who applied for the tickets and won the tickets, it feels like golden tickets, doesn't it? they going to be looking forward to set off from home in

plenty of time. the coronation concert will be broadcast live on bbc one at eight o'clock tonight and you can get it on the iplayer as well. and behind the scenes, access all areas and coverage on bbc two radio as well if you're in the car and want to listen to that. it was such a different coronation, wasn't it? compared to 70 years earlier, families and communities huddled around bulky little television sets and the crackling static in the other. this was streamed for a lot of people on smartphones, listened to on headphones, digital surround sound, crystal—clear stereo and we were able to share our thoughts on social media. never did that 70 errors ago. we thought we look at the highlights of the way we, altogether on line, enjoyed the day.

as the great and the good lined up around westminster abbey, the challenge for many was finding a good seat. meanwhile, outside... the da good seat. meanwhile, outside... tie: day began so good seat. meanwhile, outside... tue: day began so well. good seat. meanwhile, outside... the day began so well. people _ good seat. meanwhile, outside... the day began so well. people of- good seat. meanwhile, outside... the day began so well. people of the - good seat. meanwhile, outside... the day began so well. people of the uk l day began so well. people of the uk found their own _ day began so well. people of the uk found their own ways _ day began so well. people of the uk found their own ways to _ day began so well. people of the uk found their own ways to mark - day began so well. people of the uk found their own ways to mark the i found their own ways to mark the occasion. long to reign over us? at times, it seemed like everyone was getting involved. times, it seemed like everyone was getting involved-— getting involved.

on social media, the first woman to carry the sort of state into the abbey. like last year at the platinum jubilee, at times it was prince louis who stole the show on social media. we are sure his grandad won't mind. i'm sure he won't. some of those images appear on the front pages of this morning's sunday papers. shall we have a look at those? they've got some souvenir additions with the pictures on the front. the telegraph there, the king and queen pictured beaming with happiness following the coronation on the front page. the daily mail has a more candid shot on the balcony. the mail on sunday, the king and queen looking adoringly into each other�*s eyes. it suggests one couple is saying to the other, it was a triumph. the mirror, a

front page with an image of the king in full regalia in the sunday express, keeping it simple, large image of the king waving alongside words from the national anthem, happy and glorious. during the coronation service, you will remember if you were watching that the king was presented with his first gift, a specially made bible, a tradition that goes back to every coronation since the 17th century and we're joined coronation since the 17th century and we'rejoined now coronation since the 17th century and we're joined now the coronation since the 17th century and we'rejoined now the man coronation since the 17th century and we're joined now the man who handed him the bible, the right reverend doctor ian greenshields, moderator of the general assembly of the church of scotland. good morning to you. what a moment that must�*ve been. do you want to first take us there, described for us, what was it like for you? the there, described for us, what was it like for you?— there, described for us, what was it like for you? the atmosphere in the abbe was like for you? the atmosphere in the abbey was absolutely _ like for you? the atmosphere in the abbey was absolutely electric, - like for you? the atmosphere in the abbey was absolutely electric, from the beginning to the very end of the service. it was almost impossible not to get caught up in that exchange of history and the powerful

spiritual feelings of the occasion and the powerful sense as well of the coronation of a monarch, something that, in our lifetimes, we haven't seen before. butt something that, in our lifetimes, we haven't seen before.— something that, in our lifetimes, we haven't seen before. but i guess you couldn't get — haven't seen before. but i guess you couldn't get too _ haven't seen before. but i guess you couldn't get too caught _ haven't seen before. but i guess you couldn't get too caught up _ haven't seen before. but i guess you couldn't get too caught up in - haven't seen before. but i guess you couldn't get too caught up in it - couldn't get too caught up in it because you had an importantjob to do, presenting that bible. that was a really important part of the secret service for the king, which he was clearly taking very seriously. —— sacred service. tt seriously. —— sacred service. tit was, and it's interesting that it happened almost at the beginning of the service, about the king acknowledging that there is one greater than him, to whom he pays homage, and the whole sense of service, which is something that came across again and again through

the whole of the coronation. this a the whole of the coronation. as a moderator _ the whole of the coronation. as a moderator from _ the whole of the coronation. as a moderator from the _ the whole of the coronation. as a moderator from the church of scott lind, why was it important to you to be there in westminster abbey, in london? —— the church of scotland. it's a united kingdom coronation. and although largely it was an anglican service, it still was important to reflect the different voices from scotland, ireland, wales, england as well, so that everybody felt that they were included. people of different church traditions, people of different faith traditions as well. it traditions, people of different faith traditions as well. it didn't feel like a _ faith traditions as well. it didn't feel like a very _ faith traditions as well. it didn't feel like a very different - faith traditions as well. it didn't feel like a very different kind i faith traditions as well. it didn't feel like a very different kind ofj feel like a very different kind of coronation in many ways, still, at its heart, the ancient historic ceremony and yet, more inclusive, more diverse. did you feel that? did you get a real sense of that inside the abbey itself? the feeling. yes.

than we could. why was the privas is so important? t than we could. why was the privas is so important?— so important? i suppose it's something _ so important? i suppose it's something -- _ so important? i suppose it's something -- why _ so important? i suppose it's something -- why was - so important? i suppose it's something -- why was the l so important? i suppose it's - something -- why was the privacy so something —— why was the privacy so important? i suppose it's something that's traditional. there was one moment in the service... i will give you an example, i was on the scotland train with a young skewer —— stewart and he said there were moments for him within the whole experience that were deeply spiritual and i think that maybe, just a private moment before god, something that we all valued. —— a steward. that sense of mystery as well. i think the whole thing was just, from beginning to end, something that had something for everyone. fora something that had something for everyone. for a young man to speak like that, it surprised me and yet i found it maybe, he hit it in the

head. spiritual moments, republic moments, moments of a political sense that it was all about the united kingdom but also a moment when we were acknowledging that he was doing all of this, notjust before us, before god as well. the riuht before us, before god as well. the right reverend doctor ian greenshields, thank you so much for joining us. you must�*ve had a long day, journey home and getting to talk to us at six o'clock in the morning. it's a pleasure. thank you for those insights. great to be here. thank you so much, lovely to chat. i said little bit earlier that it promised to be a drier day to day but i think we need some expert analysis on that, don't take my word for it. if you're getting the bunting out for a street party but sarah keith lucasjoins as bunting out for a street party but sarah keith lucas joins as far the weather on breakfast. she knows what

lunchtime, this is how things are looking, mostly dry. just the odd shower cropping up, mainly to the north of london. perth & kinross could see one or two showers pushing up could see one or two showers pushing up and a few of the sharper side. if you do catch the showers towards the east, perhaps the odd rumble of thunder but really quite hit and miss. most of us looking dry and settled with longer spells of sunshine. cloud lingering along the likes of aberdeenshire and the northern isles, temperature is about nine degrees for aberdeen but the rest of the uk, 16—21, pretty pleasant. could be the warmest day of the year so far. temperatures 22 in some spots. light wind, sunshine, hit and miss showers in the east. fading away for the evening and looking dry to the concert in windsor but overnight, the next batch of rain moves away, slipping into northern and western parts of

written by your early monday morning. temperatures falling lowest in the east we keep those skies lowest, down into single figures but the most of us, double figures, daily grey from the word go, keeping sunshine for a bit longer in the far south—west. —— fairly grey. from west to east, we will see what whether it times followed by sunshine and scattered showers rattling in from the west seller breezy day, showers are longer spells of rain and reasonably mild but not as warm as it's going to be today. another unsettled day so sunshine and showers moving away from west to east through the course of the day, the odd heavy one, the odd thunderstorm on tuesday. temperatures typical. mid to high teens at the moment. unsettled we ahead really but roger, do enjoy that fine and dry weather. indeed, sarah, thank you with the weather.

we will be back withjohn at windsor at seven o'clock and more reflection on the coronation and looking ahead to all the events taking place around the coronation today and that travel show for you before seven o'clock and a round—up of all the day's spot with jane but let's give you some of the rest of the day's news. a disappointing result. they lost more than 1000 counsellors and 45 councils. we'll talk to a political correspondentjonathan blake and downing street. the prime minister hosting the big lunch there today, connected to the coronation but i guess the election result will be on the back of his mind. they certainly will be. the bunting is up in downing street and the prime minister will welcome members of the public later on. but inside there isn't much of him to celebrate, certainly from a political point of view, after punishing set of local elections for the conservatives across england on

thursday, after which the shape and colour of local government in england has changed dramatically. so the question is, what does it mean for the national political picture more broadly? well, labour have been emboldened by the gains they made, becoming the largest party in local government in england overall, saying they are now on course to win a general election. well, thejury is out on whether the numbers suggest that or not. the liberal democrats also talking about being on a general election footing, eyeing up as many as 20 conservative seats, mostly in the south and east of england. the rishi sunak and the conservatives, he has attempted to take this on the chin, talking in terms of people often giving the governing party a kicking in local elections midway through a parliamentary term, and saying that he doesn't attack any ground swell of support for so keir starmer�*s agenda and the labor party. but there is no doubt those results on thursday, bad as they were the

conservatives, will give some in the tory party, perhaps, more cause to argue that rishi sunak should shift his agenda and perhaps look to do things like cutting taxes, listening regulation more readily than he has done. but i don't detect that we will see any significant shift in the prime minister's approach, and he will have to attempt, when parliament returns you later this week, to return to his agenda and look forward to a general election, possibly more than likely towards the end of next year.— the end of next year. jonathan, thank you _ the end of next year. jonathan, thank you very _ the end of next year. jonathan, thank you very much. _ the end of next year. jonathan, thank you very much. eight - the end of next year. jonathan, i thank you very much. eight people have been killed by a gunman at a shopping centre in the us state of texas. hundreds of people were evacuated from the mall in the city of alan —— allen, eyewitnesses describing amount firing indiscriminate we are passers—by. police said they shot the gunman dad and they believe he acted alone. some of the victims are reported to be children. at least seven people are also being treated in hospital,

three of whom are critically ill. let's take a look at the sport this morning. jane is with us. john wright, boxer, maybe a name that was not widely known outside of boxing circles, but he was beaten, bloodied and unbowed this morning? he was, but think rocky. _ and unbowed this morning? he was, but think rocky, because _ and unbowed this morning? he was, but think rocky, because he - and unbowed this morning? he was, but think rocky, because he went i and unbowed this morning? he was, | but think rocky, because he went the distance. �* . . but think rocky, because he went the distance. �* ., , ., ., ., , distance. against one of the greats. exactl , distance. against one of the greats. exactly. many _ distance. against one of the greats. exactly, many thought _ distance. against one of the greats. exactly, many thought he _ distance. against one of the greats. exactly, many thought he would i distance. against one of the greats. exactly, many thought he would not have a chance against probably one of the best fighters in the world. canelo alvarez, he was fighting in his back garden in mexico too. it was phenomenal, the grit and determination that he displayed was really impressive. britain'sjohn really impressive. britain's john ryder went really impressive. britain'sjohn ryder went the distance with undisputed middleweight champion canelo alvarez in the mexican's home city of guadalajara. the londoner was knocked down on the fifth round of the fight by a sharp 1—to from alvarez, and it looks like a be brits might be defeated at a point, but he beat the count, getting back

news. before the start of all matches in a premier league, the national anthem was played to mark the coronation of king charles iii. but as you can hear, there were loud boos from some supporters of anfield for the outcome. liverpool fans also boost the ultimate wembley last season's if you —— fa cup final, and the ultimate wembley last season's if you —— fa cupfinal, and many have done so for years. in the match itself, just the one goal. mohammed solid scorer, and that is his ninth consecutive when in all competitions and his hundredth at anfield, passing steven gerrard in the club's all—time scoring list. liverpool are just a point behind fourth placed manchester united, but they have played two games more. harry kane has become the outright second—highest goalscorer in premier league history. spurs ended a a—game winless run with a 1—0 victory over crystal palace at the top of

prosperous stadium. kane's first half goal took him to 209. he is now ahead of wayne rooney. it is alan shearer who holds the record, with 260, so kanejust 51 behind him. in scotland, celtic will retain the title if they beat hearts later today. an impressive season for them so far. celtic have already lifted the lead under in the next month's final against inverness caledonian. we had a great year last year, winning the double unbecoming champions, which was important to us. but i really feel that this year, you know, we are a stronger team than we were 12 months ago. that is always going to be our measure. i think if you stand still at any time, whether it is this legal and illegal around the world, you know there is always the potential somebody could overtake you. potential somebody could overtake ou. ., .

home to the acropolis and whitewashed houses set against stunning blue sea and sky. we're in greece. greece, a firm favourite with package holiday and culture lovers alike.

in fact, almost a million of them arrived here every week last summer to soak up the sun. with summer fast approaching in europe, we thought it's time to take a look back at some and what better place to start than athens, the country's capital city? we went to see the ancient monument of the acropolis, which is facing up to the challenge of becoming more accessible, proving even historical sites need that was a bit of a mission! i'm making my way up to the acropolis, which in greek means high city, which doesn't look nor sound very wheelchair friendly. so, before covid, it was a proper if you had any sort basically, you had a 15—minute hike up a load of steep stairs and loads of steep ramps before you came to any sort of accessible pathway. but since then, things have changed. the acropolis is greece's number one

tourist attraction and, pre—pandemic, over 3.5 million people climbed to the top each year. one good thing to come out of the lockdowns was there was finally the time and the space to make the site more accessible to those with mobility issues. just seen a sign for disabled entrance, i think. yeah. you know what? it's still a mission to get up here. i can see why the ancient greeks were so fit. you have to be a god to get up this ramp. let's do it! which way am i going? this way? thank you. remember when i said it was a 15—minute hike up some stairs to get to the acropolis? those are the stairs i'm talking about.

wow! i'd never make it up there. but help is at hand. all i have to do is catch my breath and admire the scenery as i wait for the brand—new lift built to comfortably accommodate two wheelchairs at a time. but not everyone sees with some critics calling it well, i think it beats climbing flights of steps any day of the week. this is all right. look at this view! this isjust... i mean, this is an extra part of the trip. this is a part that only we get! all the other good old—fashioned two—leggers have to go up the stairs. and this is what i'm talking about. afterjust ito seconds in the lift and using the acropolis's new accessible paths, the acropolis has a long history and over its time it's been used as a fortress, a mosque, and it's even been blown up. but its headliner has got to be the parthenon, a temple dedicated to the ancient greek goddess athena,

who gave the city of athens its name. wow! i have never been so happy to see concrete. that is amazing. i've actually been here before and, the last time i was here, this was all rough and gravelly but now i get to experience the acropolis and i get this wonderful view of the parthenon. this is brilliant. i want to take these but improvements is not a word some would use when describing the work carried out at the site. not everyone is happy with the renovations that have gone on here at the acropolis.

now, some people have complained about the concrete slabs being laid down, saying that it's hiding the original features of the acropolis and even wounding the stone here. but i've been told that these slabs can be raised and you'll still have the original features this is some of the original stone, and it's smooth anyway. rival historians claim the work carried out is a means to get more tourists to visit, and is disrespectful to the site's diverse past. i'm heading down to the acropolis museum to meet a man who knows a thing or two about ancient history. and he believes the ancient greeks themselves would have been 0k with this upgrade. ancient greek civilisation culture is an anthropocentric culture. that means they created their gods zeus, hera, aphrodite, and so on. and between them, they had hephaestus, a very hard—working metalsmith and very powerful god. and he was lame.

wow. that's incredible. disabled gods or gods with disabilities. i'm learning so many new things. this is amazing. and i'm also told that accessibility at the acropolis is not a new thing. even in the archaic period, that means 6th century bc, there were ramps leading up not the parthenon, until the fifth century, but even earlier there is evidence for this ramp as well. and many times it has been the animals to be sacrificed. but it is not only that, it is also for all the people,

helping disabled people. there are plans in place to make with the installation i, for one, think this attraction is setting a good example to historic monuments and i'm really happy that i get to experience the acropolis now. amazing work allowing everyone and if you're going, in athens is also fully accessible and contains one of the world's top collections of greek antiquities. now, the harbours around greece can be full of super yachts and cruise ships, but this life—size replica

0lympias is the only one a few years ago, i was lucky enough out to sea. this amazing—looking galley belongs to the greek navy, and every year groups of very lucky people get to go aboard and actually row, just like ancient athenians did. this year i'm one of those lucky people, so i better get ready. i think it's going to be quite hard work. it took 20 years of passionate research to work out a design for this trireme as no remains of the wooden boats could be found. she was constructed here in greece in 1987. the important thing for the rowers of the boat

is that they were free citizens. it was very honour to be rowerfor trireme. and the important is that in so small boat we have so many people, they are the machine and they help the boat to move. i think it sounds like a fantastic lot of fun and hard work. yes. so would you maybe show me how to do it? yes, of course. wow! look at this. oh, this is amazing. this is the naval way to go down. the ship carries two small sails. but, just like in ancient times, most of the propulsion comes from the 170 oarsmen staggered over three levels under the deck. it's quite tight in here, isn't it? yes, as i told you. alright.

so here you put your feet there. so you sit here. what's your. . .. what's the technique for...? the technique must be like that. so you lift it up out of the water. yes. one, two. 0oh! yes, yes, yes. and now, in greek, dyo, two. i think i'm going to have very good abs after this. yes, yes, yes. and i will give you the orders. yes, absolutely. thank you so much. you're welcome. well, my fellow rowers are starting to arrive now, so i've picked a plum spot right in the middle of the action. 0h. 0oh. ah. ready for ramming speed. instructions in greek. reaching speeds of about

9 knots, or 17km/h, this boat was considered pretty quick in its time. enas, dyo! enas, dyo. and its manoeuvrability won athens some decisive victories at sea. the bronze ram served as the main weapon to puncture the hulls of enemy ships and to sink them. 0h, here we go again.

looking around, its almost impossible to imagine what this must have been like for the people who originally rode these kinds of boats. to be in battle, three layers of different people, all sweating, and trying to ram another boat in the open sea. i mean, it's unimaginable, given how pleasant and lovely this is today. still to come, we travel back to athens to meet some four—legged friends. we're heading to greece's first and still it's only 100% renewable energy island. and ade is in some hot

water in a secret spring. goddess athena created these springs for her favourite hero, hercules. i think it's quite fitting for someone like me. now, these wandering stray felines are a common sight in the streets of greece. from the tavernas to ancient monuments, they're part of the fabric of life which you'll undoubtedly encounter during your travels here, although through the pandemic, one local charity made it their mission to ensure these street cats were cared for. ade joined them in athens to help out for the day. puss, puss, puss. she's so cute. i'm meeting tsampika, a volunteer at athens—based cat charity nine lives. we are a team, nine lives, and we feed every day here in acropolis and in many other places around the centre of athens. wow. i mean, that's a big job.

are there many, many cats in athens? yes. we feed around over 500 cats around the centre. the team at nine lives definitely have their work cut out. so i've decided to help tsampika with the dinner—time shift and get some grub out to these furry athenians. they are always together. these two, yeah? yes. best friends. how did the pandemic affect the work that you were doing and also the welfare of the cats? well, er, suddenly, because the town was, er, empty, you could see so many, many cats revealed, a lot of cats. we didn't knew that they were around and we had to feed more because probably some of them were eating around tavernas who were not any more open. hello, diego, this is diego.

you recognise him because of the eye? yeah, he lost his eye. er, recently. hello, baby, baby, come here. this isn'tjust about keeping these cats�* bellies full. feeding them breeds trust and allows nine lives volunteers to carry out important health checks. it's not so much food for them. a town is not the physical environment for the animals. they don't have enough food and they wouldn't be so healthy. they would be a little bit skinny, sick. and if we didn't sterilise them, there would be thousands. yeah. so they would die. they wouldn't survive.

no tourists meant no tavernas. and if it wasn't for volunteers, these guys would have gone hungry. meowing but as athens opens up again, should we all be meowing. but as athens opens up again, should we all be sharing our meals with the local cats? 0k, they can give them a treat as a... ..as far as is not a problem for the owner. i do it also when i eat in a tavern. animals mustn't eat actually our food. and sometimes it can be dangerous for them because usually they give the bones of the fish. i always carry now with me cat food so i don't have to take from my plate and give to the animals if i am outside. i have something always. right, next time i'm in athens, i'll be packing cat biscuits, for sure. oh, so cute.

now we're off to the island of tilos, a whopping 17—hour ferry ride from athens. unsurprisingly, it's more laid back and sees fewer tourists because it's so remote. after years of blackouts and reliance on neighbouring islands for its energy supply, a few years ago, it became entirely powered by renewable alternatives. we sent guy fenton to find out more about greece's first hybrid island. probably one of the most relaxing and scenic ways to see tilos is by bike. you might see some wildlife along the way, but right now i'm on my way to check out something that up until now has been a vital link between tilos and the outside world.

and this is it, these cables here. they have been connecting tilos to another island called kos around 100 kilometres away and traditionally that's how tilos has been getting its power, from kos. from here the cable travels under water to kos and up until now it's been a lifeline for tilos. the underwater cable sounds like a good idea, but the oil—generated power is expensive and the line is vulnerable to breakdown. when that happens, the island and its tourists are left without electricity. but thanks to a locally devised initiative, tilos has now set about generating its own electricity in a sustainable and eco—friendly way. in combination with the wind turbine and the battery storage area, we are hoping that we can satisfy the demands of the island. and, of course, in some particular hours of the day we can also provide power to the coast complex. the solar park isn't enough, though, on its own. the wind turbine is also a vital

part of the energy system. the wind turbine, though, has the ability to operate, to produce energy, throughout the day 2li/7. so this means that comprising both energy sources and also storing medium or short—term storing energy in the battery will provide us a full operational power station. there are power cuts... the current mayor of tilos, maria kamma, grew up on the island. for maria, protecting the environment through renewable energy has been a number one priority. translation: the mentality of the island is that we love | and protect the environment and it's been something we've been fighting for many years. how can we be independent from all polluting sources that harm the environment? so an opportunity was presented through the programme and we decided to participate and offer our island for this experimental project. nobody here is suggesting that this scheme can be replicated across all of the greek islands.

the tourism industry here on tilos is pretty sustainable and low key anyway, but they are setting a really good example. the tourism industry here on tilos is pretty sustainable and low key anyway, but they are setting a really good example. so let's hope that at least some of the other islands do follow their lead. well, that's almost it for this week. but before we go, we've just got time for when ade found another form of natural energy here in greece and a perfect way to relax after a long day sightseeing. i'll let him tell you more about it and we'll see you next time. i'm in the town of aidipsos in greece, and i was a little bit worried about this because i thought the travel show had set me up because that water looks freezing cold. but i've been told that these

are hot springs which have been here for thousands of years. they've been visited by roman emperors, hollywood superstars and now an east london geezer. savage. oh, oh, oh, bad. this isjust gorgeous. now, there's a lot of history to these pools because legend has it that goddess athena created these springs for her favourite hero, hercules, so he could come here and kick back and heal himself after his herculean tasks. i think it's quite fitting for someone like me. now, they say that the minerals in these baths have got healing properties, but the best thing is they're free. let's see what this one's like. this one's super hot.

0h! get over. 0h, doesn't feel that bad. 0oh! oh, that's so hot. i could put a teabag in there and make a proper cuppa. i'm not getting in there. i think i'd boil me chestnuts. it's not happening. oh, this is more my temperature. to the site's diverse past. hello, good morning. welcome to

fanfare. the historic images shown on big screens around the uk. tens of thousands of people braving the inclement weather to be a part of the celebrations. into the night, coronation tributes continued. the day had begun with a procession from buckingham palace. king charles and queen camilla gave the waiting crowds the first waves of the day. as expected, there was some protest, with the metropolitan police making around 50 arrest on the day. and westminster abbey, a congregation of more than 2000 people were waiting. there were heads of state, famous faces, and hundreds of community and charity

representatives. the king's family took their seats, including prince harry, attending without his wife meghan, and prince andrew in a rare public appearance. dressed in his robes of state, the king entered the abbey. the prince and princess of wales, along with eight—year—old princess charlotte and five—year—old prince louis took their places on the front row. prince george was a page of honour. the king was greeted 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. this, sung by the accession choir, one of 12 pieces of music composed for the service. the king swore the traditional coronation oath to govern the peoples of the united kingdom and the realms according to their laws. and then, in the most sacred part of the service, he was divested of his robes, and behind a screen, anointed with holy oil. the king was adorned with the glittering regalia of monarchy. the sort of state carried by penny mordaunt, lord president of the council.

other items were presented by representatives of other faiths. and, finally, st edward's crown, made from solid gold and last worn by queen elizabeth ii at her coronation. faith and truth i will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me god. the kings son and heir, prince william, knelt and paid homage to his father. and then it was the turn of the king's wife, camilla, to be crowned by the archbishop of canterbury.

bells peal. waiting outside, more than 4,000 military personnel. the coronation procession set off just after one o'clock with the newly crowned monarchs in the gold state coach. behind them, the prince and princess of wales and their three children. once the procession had returned to buckingham palace, the mall was opened, allowing the crowds a closer look at the balcony and the king and queen. prince william joined with his family, including the reliably demonstrative prince louis. prince harry, who was not invited to join them, was already on his way to the airport. the weather required the coronation fly—past to be scaled back, but it still provided a spectacular image with which to end the proceedings. sarah campbell, bbc news.

there really were some spectacular images, weren't there, on the front pages of this morning's papers. they all look amazing, they have wraparound souvenir specials, we will be reflecting on some of that imagery is the programme goes on this morning. i'mjoined now imagery is the programme goes on this morning. i'm joined now by our correspondent helena wilkinson. good morning. i don't know where to start, so much to talk about from yesterday, it was really amazing. the royal family, the authorities will generally be very pleased with how it went, it went to plan? yes. how it went, it went to plan? yes, but don't forget, _ how it went, it went to plan? yes, but don't forget, months - how it went, it went to plan? yes but don't forget, months and months of planning for what was a huge occasion. more than 2000 people in westminster abbey, world leaders, celebrities, as we saw, members of the royal family, all coming together. but it ran like clockwork yesterday, the weather was not great of course, but that huge procession back from westminster abbey to buckingham palace, they will be very pleased with the crowds that turned out, i think. pleased with the crowds that turned out, ithink. even pleased with the crowds that turned out, i think. even though it was raining, people stuck outside and waited, and that balcony appearance by the king and queen and working

members of the royal family, at a moment when the king was crowned, you just wondered what was going through his mind at that point, when the crown was gently lowered onto his head, the weight of history when that moment happened, and perhaps his mother, in his thoughts, she was the last person to wear that crown. a huge day yesterday for the king and queen, hopefully they have had a good nights sleep, another big day today. good nights sleep, another big day toda . , ., ., ., ., ., ., ,, good nights sleep, another big day toda. , ., ., ., ., ., ., ~ ., today. they have an a lot of work to do toda . today. they have an a lot of work to do today- he _ today. they have an a lot of work to do today. he was _ today. they have an a lot of work to do today. he was only _ today. they have an a lot of work to do today. he was only four- today. they have an a lot of work to do today. he was only four years i today. they have an a lot of work to| do today. he was only four years old when his mother became queen, so he must have some slight memories of what it was like to be the child that are coronation, but now to be king at his own coronation, some change, isn't it? there were some protests, there were plans for more protests, there were plans for more protests, which didn't happen. and there was some debate about the way in which the police, and the security services, handled all of that. . . . security services, handled all of that. , ., , ., ., ~ security services, handled all of that. , ., ., ~ that. yes, that is a talking point this morning. _ that. yes, that is a talking point this morning. 52 _ that. yes, that is a talking point this morning. 52 arrests - that. yes, that is a talking point i this morning. 52 arrests yesterday, there were protests in trafalgar square, as the service was taking

place, so 52 arrests overall, we know from the metropolitan police, the offences which these people have been arrested for include affray, public order offences and also breach of the peace. but there has been criticism from human rights groups about the way the metropolitan police under protest. somebody who was arrested, in fact he was the chief executive of the group republic, that is the group that wants to scrap the monarchy, his name is graham smith, he was held to 16 hours in custody and was released last night. he has said, posting on social media, that there was no longer a right to peaceful protest in the uk. just a line about the metropolitan police, they say it understands public concern, but that officers had acted proportionately under the law, adding that a lock on devices which the protesters can use to secure themselves with onto railings had been seized. but a lot

the rest of the coronation long weekend, probably the best day. drier than it was yesterday. but a few showers. tomorrow brings more extensive rain across the uk. yesterday's rain is sitting out towards the east. tomorrow's rain is waiting in the west. a small ridge of high pressure, quite a lot of cloud. but most of us, it's going to brighten up through the day. longer spells of sunshine. taking a look around the country. any big lunches or street parties, drier in wales and the western half of england. a few showers for the likes of norfolk, lincolnshire, stretching up towards northumberland, a light shower for instance for edinburgh further west, shower for instance for edinburgh furtherwest, most shower for instance for edinburgh further west, most places staying largely dry. the western isles, the northern isles sing up weeks of

rain, but for the vast majority, sunshine and light wind. it could be warmer. to be the warmest day the year so far so temperatures between 16 and 21, possibly 22 and colder across parts of eastern scotland where we keep the low cloud. in the breeze coming off the sea. looking decent into the evening hours. particularly down towards windsor. later in the night, the rain pushes its way in. but by the end of the night, it was spread across scotland and england and wales. in the east, thatis and england and wales. in the east, that is where the dry weather lasts longer. single figures almost. we do start monday on a fairly unsettled note. there is the rain in the west, parts of east anglia in the southeast looking dry and bright for the morning. so i think we are all going to see rain at times. it will be followed by sunshine and scattered heavy showers, even

sunshine for the likes of northern ireland and wales. temperature is not as more mr david knott dad, still warm, 15—19. tuesday, the unsettled and continues so another day of sunny spells and scattered showers, could be quite heavy and quite thundery and filter their way eastwards later in the days are 15 or 18 or 19 our top temperature for tuesday and the unsettled theme continues unsurprisingly. we are getting used to these spring showers so unsettled through the middle part of the week but it looks like something a bit warmer and drier through friday. and into the following weekend as well. now it's back to you, roger. more simulator, thank you, sarah. let's round up some of the rest of the news of the day. disappointing results for the conservatives in this week's local elections. i lost

more than 1000 counsellors and 45 councils as well. this go live to downing street to jonathan councils as well. this go live to downing street tojonathan blake. good morning to you. the prime minister will be hoping the big —— the prime minister will be hosting the prime minister will be hosting the big lunch later. the papers giving some analysis to happened on thursday and very much these election results will be in the mind of the prime minister? the bunting is up in downing street, but politically there is very little to the prime minister to celebrate after the punishing set of local elections across england on thursday. labour have been emboldened by the hundreds of council seats which they gained, saying they are now on course to win a general election, given the projection of those results across the united kingdom, if they were to be reflect that in a general election. but the jury is out on whether the numbers are that convincing for so keir starmer�*s party. the liberal democrats also

saying they are eyeing up about 20 seats in safe conservative areas in the south and east of england, and the south and east of england, and the greens making big gains as well. the prime minister, in the aftermath of the election result, said he didn't detect a groundswell of support towards labour or enthusiasm for their agenda, support towards labour or enthusiasm fortheiragenda, but there support towards labour or enthusiasm for their agenda, but there is no doubt the prime minister's policies will now come under closer scrutiny for many conservatives who want him to shift attack and pursue a more populist agenda. so when parliament comes back after the bank holiday and when the column —— coronation celebrations have subsided, expect the post much analysis to continue here in westminster.— the post much analysis to continue here in westminster. jonathan blake, thank ou. here in westminster. jonathan blake, thank you- that _ here in westminster. jonathan blake, thank you. that was _ here in westminster. jonathan blake, thank you. that was jonathan - here in westminster. jonathan blake, thank you. that was jonathan blake i thank you. that was jonathan blake in downing street talking about the events taking place today, as well, concert at windsor, but another concert at windsor, but another concert on people's minds in liverpool, because the opening ceremony of the eurovision song contest takes place, in that city this afternoon. the united kingdom is hosting the event on behalf of last year's winners, ukraine, and

there are lots of events planned to link the two countries, including a simultaneous rave with kyiv tonight. the finals will on tuesday and thursday here on bbc one and 26 countries will qualify for the final on saturday, which walker —— also be broadcast here. it is expected to be watched around the world by 106 million people. son david laura kuenssberg is here at nine o'clock this morning. laurajoins kuenssberg is here at nine o'clock this morning. laura joins us to talk about what she has lined up today. it is a crazy, busy time, isn't it? so much going on. of course will be talking about yesterday's incredible events at westminster abbey. we will be chewing of the coronation our guests here this morning, including, we have been speaking to new prime minister of new zealand, one of the world leaders who flew into the uk, packing out of the abbey yesterday in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from all sorts of different countries around the world. an interesting conversation with him about all sorts of things. as you are hearing from jonathan blake,

they might have the bunting out of downing street but it is a pretty miserable time for the conservatives. the culture secretary, lucy fraser, will be here. she has been defending the tories�* performance, tricky night for them at the local elections around the country. we will hear from labour and the liberal democrats as well, trying to figure out what might be next to the politicians who are vying for our votes. hope to see you here on bbc one a bit later at nine o'clock. right, let's head back to windsor, a slightly grey and drizzly morning, but nonetheless it looks leafy and beautiful. john, back to you. tt is beautiful. john, back to you. it is a beautiful _ beautiful. john, back to you. it is a beautiful setting, _ beautiful. john, back to you. tit 3 a beautiful setting, roger, isn't a beautifulsetting, roger, isn't it? good morning. really springlike here. the leaves are out, the birds are singing, the perfect backdrop as final preparations are made here at windsor castle, people buzzing around, doing that little last check before the crowds arrive. 20,000

people who got tickets, the lucky 20,000, they will turn up here for that big concert we have been hearing about, with lizo mzimba just a few moments ago. shall we just run through what you need to know about the next few hours this afternoon and tonight? there are various timings you might want to be aware of. thousands of people across the country are being encouraged to hold street parties and the lunches today, they are calling it the big lunch, to mark the crowning of king charles and queen camilla. so from about 12 o'clock this lunchtime there will be events around the country. maybe your street is having on, the prime minister is certainly having one at downing street, he is hosting a big coronation lunch outside number ten. at three o'clock this afternoon the gates of windsor castle here will open. that is when ticketholders will come through, go through security and then enter for that big coronation concert inside.

now, the music starts at eight o'clock this evening. 20,000 people will be gathering on that easter lawn, a stunning stage set to see and hear performances from the likes of katy perry, lionel richie, take that and coronation choir. but still, this morning, we are reflecting on yesterday's ceremony, can still hear some of the music from yesterday ringing in our ears, not least that wonderful performance of hallelujah by the ascension choir in the abbey. we will speak to abby weisman in a moment, she wrote it, but let's have a quick listen again. # hallelujah # _ # hallelujah # hallelujah

to get that atmosphere and enjoy it. lots more to come on breakfast this morning withjoan armatrading who was inside the abbey at eight o'clock the coronation. it's a little bit of business as usual and this week's edition of newswatch. welcome to newswatch. as violence continues in sudan, the bbc starts a new radio service for listeners there. but with cuts being made elsewhere in the world service, is it time for the foreign office to start funding it again in full? first, there is no doubt about the main broths broadcasting event at the weekend and the bbc along with the weekend and the bbc along with the rest of the media have been gearing up for the donation all week. we'll be looking in more detail next week at our bbc news

discovered the ceremony and the celebrations around it but, in the meantime, here is nicholas twitchell on the preparations being made over the past few days. in the potteries and other places in the souvenir business, they've been gearing up for this moment for months. turning out the mugs and plates and a host of other goods which commemorate the coronation. it all means jobs and a significant boost for trade. by the time that report was shown on tuesday. mike dixon had already had enough.

but rob jordan thought that anti monarchists were being given too much attention by the bbc, pointing towards these two articles on the news website: more of that debate to come, as they say. but we've also had feedback relating to coverage of the local elections, which took place on thursday in most parts of england, though not in the rest of the uk. this included the traditional all night results programme shown both on bbc one uk wide, and on the news channel. there were compliments for the extent and range of the bbc“s reporting, but also objections such as this telephone message. this is disgruntled of pembrokeshire. here in wales, we have not had any council elections. i am absolutely disgusted that the bbc think it's appropriate

to network the election results on both bbc wales, bbc scotland and bbc northern ireland. but most galling thing is you have a dedicated news channel and instead ofjust having the election results on there, you decide to put it on bbc one throughout the night. bbc one“s news bulletins are normally also shown on the news channel, but when there's breaking news, the channel sometimes continues with that instead. one such occasion came on tuesday when viewers tuned to the news channel at 6:00 would have seen this. this is bbc news. i“m nicky schiller. and in the next hour or so, we're bringing you special live coverage of wrexham football club's victory parade. it's after the men won the national league, and promotion back to the english football league 15 years after their relegation, whilst the women secured promotion to wales“ top women's league.

for the next hour and 50 minutes as it turned out, viewers were treated to continuous coverage of that victory parade. so why did the promotion of a team from football's fifth tier merit so much time on national television? from playing in the third tier of english football and to go down.. that's down to the takeover of wrexham football club a couple of years ago by two hollywood actors, ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney, a tale that is clearly caught the attention of fiona power, who wrote: that view was in a minority, though, with susan black's opinion more widely held.

fighting has been continuing in sudan for the third week, with over 100,000 people having fled the country since the conflict there broke out. with no immediate end in sight to the bloodshed, the bbc world service has launched an emergency radio service broadcasting into sudan twice a day for the next three months. but the move comes just as significant cuts are being made to other parts of the world service, including the african service. so how has money been found for the new service? who exactly is paying for it? and what's the current funding model for the bbc“s international services as a whole? bbc... injanuary, the bbc“s arabic radio service went off air after 85 years of broadcasting,

one of ten foreign language services ending radio transmissions, also including the chinese, hindi and persian services. the bbc said the cuts, involving almost 400 job losses, were made because of the two year freeze in the licence fee imposed by the government. up until 2014, the world service, run for decades from its bush house headquarters in london, was funded not by the licence fee but directly by the foreign office. since then, the bbc has had to finance it mostly from its central budget, supplemented by annual foreign office grants. its outgoing chairman, richard sharp, back injanuary, called on the government to take back responsibility for funding the world service, saying its future is injeopardy. and though the government provided a one off payment of £20 million in march, serious questions remain about how to pay for what's widely considered to be a pillar of soft power for the uk. there's been a lot of audience concern about those budget cuts,

with andrew barclay writing: meanwhile, paul lawrence was confused about this week's new service for sudan: well, let's speak to tarik kafala, who's controller of languages for the bbc world service. thank you so much for coming on newswatch, tarik. how did you decide to launch this new service for sudan and what did setting it up involve? so the emergency pop up service for sudan is a response to a crisis in sudan. obviously that escalated very

quickly and suddenly. and we tried to respond as quickly. so our audiences in sudan, mainly to the arabic service, would normally receive our news through television and digital. we closed the arabic radio service in february this year. so under these circumstances, in this emergency, in this crisis, electricity is obviously a crucial issue. it's supply, power cuts and so on. so where are people going to get they're going to get their news from? we felt, as we have in the past, we've got a history of this. we'd respond to a particular crisis with a particular service. how are you paying for this service? yeah, it's being paid out of current budgets. we are obviously we always have a contingency budget for emergencies. the bbc is pulled together. we're being offered the studio space and the technical support for free from other parts of production operations.

and the bbc are colleagues in distribution and marketing are just sort of stretching their workload to cover this. we also have, in the business, people who are in our radio services who are moving into new roles or potentially leaving the business, leaving the bbc, and we are retaining them to support this operation. now, the bbc has recently cut nearly 400 jobs in the world service, including such important language services as arabic and chinese. why cut language services in such crucial parts of the world? we're not cutting language services. no language services are closing. what we're doing is making some changes, very significant changes in the platforms that we distribute our news and current affairs on. so in the case of arabic, which obviously is the main language used in sudan, audiences in normal times and normal circumstances would come

to our television and online. so those are the services we are sort of focusing on radio, which has been in decline in terms of audiences. we're sort of moving away from that generally in areas where radio is the only way to reach audiences with our content, such as afghanistan, parts of africa and myanmar, for example, we are retaining those services. well, talking about budgets, three quarters of the world service budget now, i gather, comes from the licence fee, which of course is paid by viewers here in the uk. and some are questioning why they should pay for a service which is aimed abroad, like the sudan emergency service. there are a number of justifications, they revolve around the impact of the world service. it's one of the most trusted and strongest brands that the uk has. it's well loved and used around the world and brings benefits back to the uk. people who use and consume the world service are much more likely to invest in the world.

in the uk, they're much more likely to travel to the uk. they think more positively towards it, they're more likely to study in the uk. these are the sort of soft power benefits they have. and the bbc is is one of those absolutely sort of gold standard brands in the world. and that's largely due to the world service. other reasons for funding the world service, partly from licence fee, is the benefit to licence fee users. a lot of the international news that you get, a lot of the reporting that you get in these crises around the world does come straight onto radio for the news at ten the today programme and and services that are very important in the uk. tarik kafala, thank you so much for coming on newswatch. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social

the historic images shown on big screens around the uk. tens of thousands of people braving the inclement weather to be a part of the celebrations. into the night, coronation tributes continued. the day had begun with a procession from buckingham palace. king charles and queen camilla gave the waiting crowds the first waves of the day. as expected, there was some protest, with the metropolitan police making around 50 arrest on the day. and westminster abbey, a congregation of more than 2,000 people were waiting. there were heads of state, famous faces, and hundreds of community and charity representatives. the king's family took their seats, including prince harry, attending without his wife

meghan, and prince andrew in a rare public appearance. dressed in his robes of state, the king entered the abbey. the prince and princess of wales, along with eight—year—old princess charlotte and five—year—old prince louis took their places on the front row. prince george was a page of honour. the king was greeted 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. this, sung by the accession choir, one of 12 pieces of music composed for the service. the king swore the traditional coronation oath to govern the peoples of the united kingdom and the realms according to their laws. and then, in the most sacred part of the service, he was divested of his robes, and behind a screen, anointed with holy oil. the king was adorned with the glittering regalia of monarchy. the sort of state carried by penny mordaunt, lord president of the council.

other items were presented by representatives of other faiths. and, finally, st edward's crown, made from solid gold and last worn by queen elizabeth ii at her coronation. faith and truth i will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me god. the kings son and heir, prince william, knelt and paid homage to his father. and then it was the turn of the king's wife, camilla, to be crowned by the archbishop of canterbury. waiting outside, more than 4,000 military personnel. the coronation procession

set off just after one o'clock with the newly crowned monarchs in the gold state coach. behind them, the prince and princess of wales and their three children. once the procession had returned to buckingham palace, the mall was opened, allowing the crowds a closer look at the balcony and the king and queen. prince william joined with his family, including the reliably demonstrative prince louis. prince harry, who was not invited to join them, was already on his way to the airport. the weather required the coronation fly—past to be scaled back, but it still provided a spectacular image with which to end the proceedings. sarah campbell, bbc news. what a day it was. today, the crowns come off, it will be a rather less

metropolitan police handled the protests. 52 people were arrested were those offences. this included affray, public offences orders, including the leader the group republic, gareth smith, who was held in custody for 16 hours and released last night. on social media, he said after he was released, there was no longer a right for peaceful protest. a bit of controversy over the way the police handled those protests. we will follow that through the day on bbc news. lots of people up early following the weather if they are having a street party. the idea is to spread it around the country, make it as inclusive and diverse as possible. make it as inclusive and diverse as ossible. ~ . ., ., ., possible. much more relaxed feelto toda . the possible. much more relaxed feelto today- the king _ possible. much more relaxed feelto today. the king and _ possible. much more relaxed feelto today. the king and queen - possible. much more relaxed feelto today. the king and queen wanted i possible. much more relaxed feel to| today. the king and queen wanted to have a day for people to come together, communities, street parties. we will see lots of

the years, it's really- lovely. # time to care. # some day...# as well as there being contributions from others, including the royal shakespeare company, two of the royal ballet's principal dancers will perform a specially choreographed routine to it. how important and how special this moment is in history, really, and to make a small part of it, it's just so beautiful. it feels very special to be a part of all of the royal artists dancing and performing on so many different ways so, yes, i think it's definitely a once—in—a—lifetime experience. # going to be brighter days. # brighter days...# while most of those taking part will be professionals, many of whom will have performed for royalty

in the past, this special coronation choir is made up of amateur singers from across the uk. # though it seems distant, know the world will change...# few of them will ever have dreamt of not only performing in honour of the king... # baby, you're a firework!# ..but also sharing the stage with the likes of katy perry, who is sure to be bringing a huge degree of spectacle to tonight's event. lizo mzimba, bbc news, windsor castle. it will be quite a show, eight o'clock live on bbc one, on the iplayer, radio two has the build up this afternoon. that is not enough forjess and rachel because they wanted to be here. they have tickets. good morning. you've also turned up 12 hours early to be first in the queue. we turned up 12 hours early to be first in the queue-— in the queue. we didn't expected. it's a big queue- _ in the queue. we didn't expected. it's a big queue. you _ in the queue. we didn't expected. it's a big queue. you know - in the queue. we didn't expected. it's a big queue. you know what i in the queue. we didn't expected. i it's a big queue. you know what time it start? you —

are you going to the concert? they have tickets. there are already some people ahead of you. just getting your bearings. have a lovely day. that is a very regal wave from dan. very impressed. lovely stuff. let's talk about the ceremony yesterday, that coronation inside westminster abbey. among the 2000 specially invited guests was our guest, singer—songwriter. thank you for getting up early and speaking on the bbc. it must have been quite a day. i apologise firstly if the sound is ropey. it was a very special day, one i think i will look back on. the

music was fantastic, it was so spectacular, to hear the residents in the cathedral. but i think for me, one of the standout moments has to be when the king was the roads, just in his shirt. it represented a vulnerability that he wanted to show. it said, ok, iam here to serve, take away all this finery, the stuff that makes me look as if i am above you. here i am, naked, as it were, andi am above you. here i am, naked, as it were, and i want to do my best. i thought that was a very, very special. thought that was a very, very secial. . , thought that was a very, very secial. ., , ,., special. there was something owerful special. there was something powerful about _ special. there was something powerful about the _ special. there was something powerful about the simplicity| special. there was something l powerful about the simplicity of that moment, after all the gold and

robes and all the instruments of the state and all of that pump, but all of a sudden we got that cut down moment ofjust him, a man in a shirt taken the oath. there was a lot of talk about the ancient nature of the ceremony, but trying to bring it all “p ceremony, but trying to bring it all up to date, making it more inclusive and more diverse. did it feel like that to you?— and more diverse. did it feel like that to you? yes, i'm not a big fan ofthe that to you? yes, i'm not a big fan of the word _ that to you? yes, i'm not a big fan of the word diverse _ that to you? yes, i'm not a big fan of the word diverse because - that to you? yes, i'm not a big fan of the word diverse because it - that to you? yes, i'm not a big fan i of the word diverse because it tends to make it seem as if it is something that has never happened before. the king has always been an inclusive person and has always wanted to know about different cultures and people. he is a man who seeks knowledge, and to get knowledge you need to communicate with people. i think he wanted to have that represented in the

ceremony. yes, ithink have that represented in the ceremony. yes, i think in terms of when the queen had her ceremony, there were people from the commonwealth there. obviously, but this time because it is in technicolor, it is a very vivid, you can see the modernity of it. add the different women included in the ceremony, the different women priests, the person handing him the ceremonial sword. priests, the person handing him the ceremonialsword. never priests, the person handing him the ceremonial sword. never done before. there were lots of different things that were modern that the king would have wanted to happen. we've never had a gospel choir before, how incredible were they? there were lots of things to say. this is britain, you don't want to get rid of all the traditional stuff. if you go to your family is unthinkable when you having your christmas dinner, you want certain people to be there, the turkey to be there.

you want the trimmings around. you have traditions and want to keep those, the sacred things. you don't want to forget you are britain, these traditions that have been here for thousands of years. that is vital that things remain. but you bring in things that say we are 2023, it is important.- bring in things that say we are 2023, it is important. yes, we were all watching — 2023, it is important. yes, we were all watching on _ 2023, it is important. yes, we were all watching on the _ 2023, it is important. yes, we were all watching on the tv, _ 2023, it is important. yes, we were all watching on the tv, you - 2023, it is important. yes, we were all watching on the tv, you were i all watching on the tv, you were there in the heart of the abbey. can you tell us, give a hint of what you might have seen we might have missed? is there a moment which will stay in your memory which you will tell people in the future? i stay in your memory which you will tell people in the future?— tell people in the future? i don't think it will _ tell people in the future? i don't think it will be — tell people in the future? i don't think it will be a _ tell people in the future? i don't think it will be a little _ tell people in the future? i don't think it will be a little moment, | tell people in the future? i don'tl think it will be a little moment, it was a big moment for me. when the congregation was asked to confirm

they were for the king, if you like, they were for the king, if you like, the voices in the church were loud. it was a confident affirmation, it wasn't like a well, we may be my do it. it was a definite, deep, i well, god save the king. it was so positive, it was fantastic. i loved that affirmation from the congregation in that loud, confident way. it was wonderful. yes. congregation in that loud, confident way. it was wonderful.— congregation in that loud, confident way. it was wonderful. yes, and you mentioned — way. it was wonderful. yes, and you mentioned already _ way. it was wonderful. yes, and you mentioned already the _ way. it was wonderful. yes, and you mentioned already the music. i way. it was wonderful. yes, and you mentioned already the music. that i mentioned already the music. that was very much at the heart of the ceremony. it will be the heart of the concert here at windsor castle later today. this is a very musical weekend. you must be delighted with that. �* , ,., , weekend. you must be delighted with that. �* , , ., weekend. you must be delighted with that. n, , ., , that. absolutely. i am sure everybody _ that. absolutely. i am sure everybody will _ that. absolutely. i am sure everybody will have - that. absolutely. i am sure everybody will have a i that. absolutely. i am sure i everybody will have a fantastic time. i heard a few people on social

they would miss their spot, but nobody else has turned arbor, so they have reclaimed their position. numbers one and two in line, they will go through security in about seven hours' time. they've got quite a wait, but they've got their umbrellas. hello! we got a wave. lovely to meet them earlier. lots more to come from windsor, but let's go back to rogerfor the rest of this morning's news. we were rather worried they might have lost their place. let's look at some of the other stories. a disappointing result for the conservatives in the local elections. there are some analysis in the newspapers today. they lost more than 1000 councillors in england in 45 councils. let's

talk to our political correspondence, jonathan blake. the prime minister will be hosting one of the big lunches. those results, if you read the papers, will be in his mind. , . his mind. they will, and while the buntina is his mind. they will, and while the hunting is out _ his mind. they will, and while the bunting is out outside _ his mind. they will, and while the bunting is out outside number i his mind. they will, and while the l bunting is out outside number ten, there is little politically for the prime minister to celebrate after those publishing results on thursday. the conservatives losing control of many councils and losing more than 1000 council seats. labour now the largest party in local government, making big gains, as well as the liberal democrats boosting their own showing. what does it tell is about the political picture? labour make the argument they are on course to win a general election on the basis of those results, although many people disagree it is that emphatic. the

liberal democrats say they are on an election footing, eyeing 20 seas from the conservatives, and for the tories, big questions. these results will allow some in rishi sunak�*s party to suggest he should change his stance, but on pause while the coronation parties play out. but when it returns next week, there is result focusing all mines in westminster. eight people have been killed by a gunman _ eight people have been killed by a gunman at a shopping centre in texas — gunman at a shopping centre in texas. , ., , ., , texas. hundreds of people were evacuated _ texas. hundreds of people were evacuated in _ texas. hundreds of people were evacuated in the _ texas. hundreds of people were evacuated in the city _ texas. hundreds of people were evacuated in the city of - texas. hundreds of people were evacuated in the city of alan i texas. hundreds of people were evacuated in the city of alan as l evacuated in the city of alan as eyewitnesses described a man firing indiscriminately at passers—by. police said they shot the gunman dead and said they believe he acted alone. some of those killed are believed to be children. three people are in a critical condition

starting the day with coronation pancakes. quick everyone, i carriages are coming! just a few last minute tweaks to the bunting. let's trim it, give it a haircut. there's three generations sit down to watch together. granny andrea, mum kate and daughter sizzle. there's the crown. there's the crown! obviously, ijust don't know how he doesn't cry. it must be utterly overwhelming, this. i'm overawed. so amazing. moved, really. and do you remember the last coronation? when i was a child and i was sitting in stjohn's wood in my aunt's house. everyone had got up very early in the morning because they had proper seats on the mall. and we were sitting with my mother's governess. and it looked as if it was snowing as well as raining. but it was...

i watched constantly and my brother got fed up after about an hour, boys do — younger brother. it was really exciting and it was a such a wonderful thing to be able to watch. i've been busy for the last few weeks and i have hardly given| it any thought at all. but just watching the pageantry and listening to the music- just bowled me over. i'm absolutely in awe of it, and i think it's. just what we do best. i think the music is beautiful. all the outfits are amazing, but i don't know if i fully connect to it as a young person in this generation, kind of it feels very distant from me, very regal and in some ways i wish it was a bit more down to earth. katya has been living with the bensons for seven months. it's very special day. there's nothing quite like this in ukraine and just over the border in devon, the residents at this nursing home were keen tojoin in.

singing. mavis, you've been sat in this chair since 9 o'clock this morning wanting to get a front row seat! i'm fascinated by the horses have blue bits on them. why have they got blue bits on their mane? what's it stand for? and as the residents watched upstairs, lucy was busy preparing a coronation feast. lucy, what's the atmosphere like at the home here? it's been lovely this week, actually. they were very much affected by the queen dying. i think they felt like it was very much an end of an era, they've known her all their lives. and so really it felt like a full stop for them. and actually today is the beginning of a new paragraph. and with spring just around the corner, i think today will be the beginning of something really special for them. they feel really elated about it and they've enjoyed the pageantry. pat, what did you enjoy about today? being here.

sitting here with my friend. thank you. and just enjoying it all. been here all morning. elsewhere around the country, people braved the rain to support their king and queen. we're here to witness the historical, momentous time when the king is being inaugurated. it's making history. i hope the king has many years of reigning. and good health and happiness to them both. god save the king. it's been a spectacular day so far.

bells ring. the best one yet! gun salute. it was really like elaborate. everything was golden and everything was like, really, like, golden. and in the forest of dean, a nod to the king as king charles spaniels paraded through the town. yesterday, it was all about the pomp and ceremony. today, the celebrations will continue, but in a much more informal manner, with street parties. long live the king. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

loving those spangles! we have seen some of them getting their sunday morning walk. we have seen some police sniffer dogs as well as the security effort ramps up ahead of the concert tonight. i think maybe one of the biggest differences this time compared with the loss coronation 70 years ago was the internet. social media, the fact we were notjust with the people in our living rooms watching it, we were able to share our thoughts and pictures and experiences via our phones across the world on social media so let's look back at some of those moments which went viral! as the great and the good gathered inside westminster abbey, for some, the challenge was finding the right seat. camera clicks. meanwhile, outside... and the day began so well.

..the people of the uk found their own ways to mark the occasion. long to "rain" over us? at times, it seemed like everyone was getting involved. # send him victorious...!# this was the first coronation of the digital age. and for some invited guests, the chance to take a selfie was just too good to miss. access all areas. we got to see behind the scenes like never before. and share our reactions in real time. lord president of the council penny mordaunt was trending on social media — the first woman to carry the sword of state into the abbey. but just like last year at the platinum jubilee, at times it was prince louis who stole the show on social media. we're sure his grandad won't mind!

0f of course he won't! prince louis always providing those photo opportunities on social media. i think we need to look at what today has in store for us because the celebrations continue? windsor castle is the focus now and before the concert tonight there will be a big party here, a street party here at windsor but thousands of people across the uk will be celebrating at across the uk will be celebrating at a big lunch today to mark the crowning of king charles and queen camilla. the prime minister is hosting one of these events at downing street this afternoon. and then at 3pm the gates of windsor castle will open for ticket holders, some of them we have met already in the queue this morning and then they

will be allowed in for the concert and the music for that starts at 8pm and the music for that starts at 8pm and it will be shown live on bbc one on the bbc iplayer. 20,000 people gathering on the east london to watch performances from lionel richie, katy perry, take that on the long awaited performance by the coronation choir as well, those people from all over the uk and commonwealth who have been rehearsing very special choral pieces which we will get to hear tonight. the stage is set and we went inside a short time ago exclusively on breakfast this morning. but what about the weather? it was a problem at times yesterday but what will it be like there tonight? sarah has all the details for windsor castle and the uk! good morning everyone. the weather will improve through the course of the

day, all the wet weather we had yesterday broke clear towards the east and what we're left with is low cloud, mist and fog. you might be waking up to something like this in perth this morning. the weather for most of us will brighten through the day. it could linger across of eastern scotland but generally a warmer and sunnier day and fewer showers, there will be some across parts of eastern england. tomorrow brings more rain but lets not worry about that yet. today is a fine day and if you are planning street parties, we have this ridge of high pressure, in between weather systems, squeezing away most of the showers but areas like this you can see some showers crop up across eastern england and eastern scotland. the cloud will break up, the mist and fog were clear, in the sunshine, across wales in western england, it should feel quite nice out there. some showers in the east,

mainly to the north of london. cloud and rain stretching up towards east lothian, northern ireland mostly dry. some showers for the highlands of scotland and towards shetland, cooler or you have the low cloud across the east of scotland but for most, sunny spells and pleasantly warm. the threat of showers should ease later. temperatures up to around 21 degrees, cooler across the north—east of scotland, enjoy the weather today because things are going downhill a little bit in terms of weather later tomorrow. but now, back to you at windsor. sarah, thank you. people will be pleased to hear it's looking ok for the concert tonight. thank you. we have grey skies at the moment but the flags fluttering on the tower and we've had some more people arriving here,

we've seen people in the key who have tickets for the concert and i am not sure these guys have tickets for the concert but they are making the most of the opportunity to come to the front of the castle and get some pictures. for the family album. i was there, at the castle on coronation weekend 2023. now you know what? there are a lot of people up know what? there are a lot of people up this morning with the television on watching this who are preparing for street parties, the bunting is going up, the trestle tables are being laid going up, the trestle tables are being [aid and the quiche and coronation chicken is being prepared and graham is in north london where they do this quite often, is that correct? they are street party experts. correct? they are street party exerts. ,., ., correct? they are street party exerts, ,., ., ., correct? they are street party exerts. ., . . experts. good morning and we are in finchle . experts. good morning and we are in finchley- they _ experts. good morning and we are in finchley. they have _ experts. good morning and we are in finchley. they have been _ experts. good morning and we are in finchley. they have been taking i experts. good morning and we are in finchley. they have been taking part| finchley. they have been taking part in the big lunch here since 2009 when it was first uttered by the
