King Charles III was anointed and crowned on Saturday in Britain’s biggest ceremonial event in seven decades. a sumptuous display of spectacle dating back 1,000 years.
Before a gathering of some 100 world leaders and a television audience of millions, the Archbishop of Canterbury spiritual leader of the Anglican Churchslowly placed the 360-year-old St Edward’s Crown on Charles’s head as he sat on a 14th-century throne in Westminster Abbey.
