On this historic day, the Diplomatic Informer Magazine SA wishes to extend our heartfelt warm wishes to their Majesties, King Charles III and Queen Camilla and the people of the United Kingdom on their #Coronation
The Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen took place today, Saturday, 6th May 2023, at Westminster Abbey on in the first Coronation Service in almost 70 years. Their Majesties arrived at Westminster Abbey in procession from Buckingham Palace, known as ‘The King’s Procession’.
After the Service, Their Majesties returned to Buckingham Palace in a larger ceremonial procession, known as ‘The Coronation Procession’. Their Majesties were joined in the procession by other Members of the Royal Family.
Upon returning, The King and The Queen received a Royal Salute in the Garden of Buckingham Palace from the Armed Forces, taking part in the Processions.
The King and The Queen, accompanied by Members of the Royal Family, then appeared on the Buckingham Palace Balcony for the Flypast and the conclusion of the day’s ceremonial events
For the last nine centuries, the coronation ceremony has taken place at Westminster Abbey as the Royal church for the Palace of Westminster
For almost a thousand years, Coronations have been held at Westminster Abbey, and the Order of Service draws on this long tradition, centred around the liturgical theme of “Called to Serve” and The King’s solemn vow and commitment to serve God, and the people of the nations and the realms.
The Service was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend and Right Honourable Justin Welby. The Choirs of Westminster Abbey and His Majesty’s Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace, with choristers from Methodist College, Belfast, and Truro Cathedral Choir, and an octet from the Monteverdi Choir, sang. The music during the service was directed by Andrew Nethsingha, Organist and Master of the Choristers, Westminster Abbey.
