For the first time after 7 decades, a new monarch has been crowned in Great Britain. The Archbishop of Canterbury placed the Crown of St. Edward on the head of King Charles III, culminating in the grand coronation ceremony.

The ceremony held in Westminster Abbey took place under strict security conditions and with the pomp that belongs to the coronation of one of the longest-lived kingdoms in the world.

"God save the King," was the cry of the archbishop and congregation after placing the crown of St. Edward on the King's head.

Abbey bells toll, trumpets and gunshots are heard across the UK.

After the wreath was laid, gun salutes were heard from 13 different cities in the kingdom, including Edinburgh in Scotland, Cardiff in Wales and Belfast in Northern Ireland.

The main gun-fire ceremony took place at the Tower of London, while the bells of Westminster Abbey were heard tolling to mark the historic moment.
