King Charles anointed in Coronation service at Westminster Abbey

A ceremony full of music and symbolism is taking place inside Westminster Abbey, as Charles and Camilla are crowned King and Queen

King Charles has promised to uphold the law during his reign and says he will “foster an environment in which people of all faiths may live freely”

Wearing long white robes and sitting alongside the Queen Consort, Camilla, he arrived for the service in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach

Thousands of people braved the rain to line the route from Buckingham Palace through central London

Around 2,200 people, including the royal family, celebrities, faith leaders and heads of state, are inside the Abbey

After the service, there will be a second, larger procession before the couple appear on the Palace balcony
