Charles and Camilla removed the St Edwards Crown and St. Mary’s Crown, respectively, before taking their seats at the Chairs of Estate and receiving communion.

The bread and wine for the communion is consecrated with the same wording from the Book of Common Prayer as was used at the queen’s coronation in 1953.

Camilla’s crowning moment is here as she is anointed on the head by the archbishop, and presented with the queen consort’s ring.

Camilla is crowned with the Queen Mary’s Crown, marking the first time a new crown was not created for a queen consort.

The Queen Mary Crown was redesigned though for Camilla, including the removal of the replica of the controversial Koh-i-Noor diamond.

Camilla's crown features the Cullinan III, IV and V diamonds, a tribute to Elizabeth, who counted the diamonds as part of her personal jewelry collection.

As Camilla is enthroned, the choir is singing “Make a Joyful Noise,” a new anthem composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber for the coronation.

William pays homage to his father on behalf of the royal family, following an homage from the Archbishop of Canterbury on behalf of the Bishops of the Church of England.

In a coronation first, members of the public are invited to pay homage to Charles too, led by the archbishop.

The public homage sparked controversy when plans for it were first revealed, with critics saying they should not have to pledge allegiance to the king. The archbishop responded to the controversy by telling the BBC the oath is "an invitation; it's not a command.”
Charles' younger son Harry was seen in the congregation paying homage to his father.

The moment of crowning happened as the Archbishop of Canterbury places the St Edwards Crown on Charles’ head.

At that moment, the congregation sang out, “God save the king,” the bells of Westminster Abbey rung and gun salutes were fired across the U.K.

The St Edwards Crown weighs nearly five pounds and is made of solid gold. The coronation service is the only time the king will wear the crown.
