Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Gov. Gen Mary Simon were among the dignitaries on hand as King Charles III was crowned at London\u0027s Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
Charles is the 40th sovereign to be crowned in the abbey. At 74, he is also the oldest. He no longer has executive or political power, and the service was purely ceremonial. Charles automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth, died in September.
Thousands of people from around the world camped overnight along a two kilometre route travelled by the procession. Canadian flags were on display amid the sea of Union Jacks. 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.
He cited the RCMP’s prominent position in the procession, and the fact that Charles met with Canadian Indigenous leaders right before the coronation.
