King Charles III Coronation RECAP: King Charles crowned at Westminster Abbey
The King has been crowned the nation’s monarch and prayed to be a “blessing” to people of “every faith and conviction”.
King was crowned, the bells of Westminster Abbey rang for two minutes and a fanfare was sounded.
A gun salute was also fired by The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, stationed at Horse Guards Parade.
A 21-gun salute has sounded at Hillsborough Castle in Co Down, the royal residence in Northern Ireland, to mark the coronation of the King.
The cannons began to fire at the moment Charles was crowned, by reservists from the 206 (Ulster) Battery, part of the 105th Regiment Royal Artillery.
Hundreds of guests are watching the service on a screen within the grounds of the castle.
Thousands of people across Northern Ireland are following the ceremony from Westminster Abbey live on public screens including at Belfast City Hall, Ballymena, Larne, Carrickfergus, Bessbrook, Antrim, Jordanstown and Coleraine.
