Nearly nine months after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, England’s King Charles III was finally crowned on May 6 in a religious ceremony at Westminster Abbey in the capital, attended by 2,200 guests.
The Archbishop of Conterbury, the spiritual head of the Anglican church, placed the 2.08 kilogram (2.08 kilogram) and 360-year-old crown on Charles III’s head in a procedure that represents the unity of monarchy, Church and State in Great Britain.
As on previous occasions since the start of this procedure in 1066, the king sat on a 14th-century throne for the coronation, where an artillery salute was fired at the Tower of London, where the royal crown will again be kept. . .
The monarchical ceremony, whose tradition goes back to the time of King William the Conqueror, is an international presentation at a diplomatic level of immense importance to London, comments here on television in the city.
Representatives from 203 countries, including several European monarchies, are in London.
Though without achieving the grandeur demonstrated by the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, who died in September 2022 at the age of 96, the coronation was an interesting spectacle, in which some 100 heads of state participated, the press confirmed. .
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has ordered the use of some 20,000 police and security personnel to ensure peace, including 11,000 people directly involved in the coronation detentions, reports The Guardian newspaper.
Sunak has faced strikes for days and weeks across a range of public service sectors, including railways and health, demanding higher wages, given rising energy costs and the deteriorating living conditions of thousands of Britons.
