Live stream of Coronation of King Charles III, BBC.

Long live the King!

I kept on thinking it was Queen Elizabeth in the carriage.

Canada burning the midnight oil here.

Charles looks so very relaxed, and Camilla looks absolutely lovely.

Good morning Australia and Canada! Lovely to see all the Commonwealth leaders carrying those beautiful flags.

And good morning everyone else, too.
Anyone spotted @Herat yet?!

Canada here watching ... Good morning world!

Good morning Australia and Canada! Lovely to see all the Commonwealth leaders carrying those beautiful flags.

I am getting a bit (happily) teary listening to the crowds cheering as the King's coach travels past them.

And proud to see our flag, and to hear that the beautiful air conditioned coach they are using to travel to the Coronation was made here in Manly (Sydney) in 2010. They will be using the traditional coach from the 1830s to travel back.

Love the unity of our Commonwealth countries.

It's being broadcast on radio 4, which is the default background noise in my house.

I haven't been to a church service in a million years, but instantly knew the responses


The music is absolutely glorious - Kyrie in Welsh just made my spine tingle.

And he was just crowned King of England!

God save the King!

I kept on thinking it was Queen Elizabeth in the carriage.

This morning (pre-coffee) I thought “too bad Queen Elizabeth II isn’t here to see this.” Then I facepalmed myself. Duh. This coronation wouldn’t be happening if she were still with us!

Touching moment when William pledged allegiance to his father.

I still keeps calling him Prince Charles, King Charles makes me think of my late dog who was a cavalier king charles spaniel. I will have a problem when we get our Queen Victoria as she has been called Vickan through the years.

And he was just crowned King of England!

God save the King!

He was also crowned king of Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland.
Don't worry, it's a common misconception that England is the only country that's relevant.

She will be very proud of her son. Especially proud that he is holding up under the weight of all the clothing they put on him .... so many layers! And the crown doesn't look light, either.

Up early this morning to watch in Canada.

Love the pomp and circumstance.

I thought quite emotional when William kissed his father on the cheek.

I wonder which of the children made the Wales family late. Or maybe they all did. hahaha

One of our TV presenters said they saw their royal vehicle speed by as the coach was pulling up at the Abbey.
