King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort, were officially crowned king and queen during a coronation ceremony Saturday at Westminster Abbey, the first coronation there since that of Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, back in 1953.
Massive crowds lined the royals' route to and from the ceremony over the course of several hours.
Charles and Camilla began their procession toward the coronation from Buckingham Palace through Central London in a golden carriage led by eight horses.
About 200 members of the British military were mounted on horses as part of the procession, largely drawn from what's known as the Household Cavalry Regiment. On either side of the route to Westminster Abbey were around 1,000 other soldiers, sailors and Royal Air Force personnel.
They disembarked from their three-ton carriage at the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, flanked by church officials and followed by a retinue of support staff dressed in red uniforms.

She looks like dude
Joe and Jill may be sporting hats like that, next week.
See my post 21.......you might need new glasses brother.
These things would be so much better if they weren’t so self serious. I mean imagine a world where the new king walks out to great his peasants with the Sex Pistols “Lazy Sod” blaring. So much more awesome. Then he flips the bird, and slams a beer. That’s a king.
It’s not our tradition, but it’s a tradition the majority of the British people seem to like and believe in.
Westminster Abbey where coronation took place is nearly 1000 years old and it still look beautiful.
Since it doesn’t effect anything in this country, why trash it, it’s a fairly tale except in real life.
The crowns look ridiculous but are in fact real with gem stones.
This ranks up at the top of my who gives a sh*t list. The very thought of these royals and their lifetime of sucking off the hard working taxpayers of Britain is disgusting.
So two divorced and adulterous individuals have been able to become King and Queen of England
Oh well. Once again, the realm can’t/won’t meet its own standards.
To me, at least, they closely resemble Joe & Jill Biden...
The result will be the same...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
she may use the same hair dresser as dr jill?
charlie sure traded down for this one
I don’t know about Camilla. She looked pretty old to me and seemed to have trouble getting around.
I suppose now Jo Jo Bidenskyyy is going to want us to buy him his own cool crown and appaloosa cola bear hide robe.
Yep, that is where my brain went with that pic.
Standards? They hand down power like a venereal disease. There are no standards there.
What is...is. I wish them well.
Now, THAT would be awesome!
Diana should be there....not horse face mistress Camela.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak can read off his plans to King Charles (or a mirror).
