Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Gov. Gen Mary Simon were among the dignitaries on hand as King Charles III was crowned at London's Westminster Abbey on Saturday, marking the formal celebration of the start of his reign as King and his role as Canada's head of state.
Over a dozen Canadians were among the ceremony's more than 2,000 guests, a crowd that ranged from world leaders and aristocrats to community workers and first responders.
Trumpets sounded as King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, entered the church, where monarchs have been crowned since 1066. For the first time, female clergy took part in the ceremony. It was also the first to include representatives of the Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh faiths. That sentiment was on display on the ground in London as well. The anti-monarchy group Republic said six of its members, including its chief executive, were arrested as they arrived at a protest."Today, we ring in the reign of His Majesty King Charles III and reaffirm Canada's enduring commitment to the Commonwealth.
