LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - MAY 6: Gun salutes is performed at Edinburgh Castle for the coronation of King Charles III of the UK on Saturday, May 6, in London. In the country's first coronation service in nearly 70 years, King Charles III was crowned along with Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey, the site of coronations in Britain since 1066 — nearly a millennium ago. Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, left the palace for Westminster Abbey in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, in what is traditionally known as the King's Procession. Accompanied by the Sovereign's Escort guards, they traveled along The Mall outside the palace, through the Admiralty Arch, passing to the south of the King Charles Island statue in Trafalgar Square before turning onto Whitehall Road leading to the church. The procession continued down Whitehall and along the east and south sides of Parliament Square. They arrived at Westminster Abbey for the coronation service after completing a route stretching some 2.1 kilometers (1.3 miles) from Buckingham Palace. Following the coronation service, conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury, the senior bishop of the Church of England, Charles was crowned with the historical St. Edward's Crown, while Queen Camilla wore a modified version of the Crown of Queen Mary, fashioned in 1911. During the ceremony, Charles, dressed in symbolic "vestments," was presented with items of Regalia, including the Orb and the Sovereign's Scepters representing the monarch's religious and moral authority.
