I want to thank the doubless overlooked and totally invisible BBC sound engineer that made sure that the audio capture was top notch and whoever encoded the track in this clip so that it would be of an excellent fidelity and sound quality. The trumpets really crackle through my Marantz tube amp and it's a joy to listen to. Whoever you are, thank you for doing this right.

For all those critics who say Charles look miserable must understand it been 8 months since his mother passing, He probably still greiving and is taking it all in, He been waiting half century to become King.

Regardless of what you think of monarchies in general, the number of old customs and traditions we maintain are slowly dying out. This is a ceremony that is fundamentally the same for a 1000 years in England. And we can all respect that at least 🫡

Watching this moment gives me the chills this is my first time seeing a coronation happen

[MrW]

Just think how many kings and queens that chair has made and everything it has seen in its life.

Just a word of praise for the Archbishop of Canterbury for his contribution to the Coronation Service. He was so professional, yet so caring of others, including the King. Thank you Sir. I hope you have a well earned rest.

I love everything about it, the pomp, the ceremony, the symbolism and the robes and outfits worn. The UK should cherish and preserve this, something so rare but yet magnificent in every way. Most royal families don't even have coronation ceremonies now

[audspod]

I really felt for Charles as the crown was put on, he looked overwhelmed. Brought a tear to my eye. He has been through so much, and the recent death of his beloved parents. God bless him. 🙏

An awesome tradition the british have. Its my first time in my life seeing a coronation and its everything my 10 year old self thought how a coronation would go.

The eyes of His Majesty, when crowned, are strikingly similiar to his mother, the late Queen. I know that the King is grieving for his parents, especially the Queen, just remember that Queen Elizabeth II when coronated, was also grieving for her father, King George VI. Both Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III realized that life will never be the same again as they will become monarchs, with Charles knowing that he'd been waiting for this moment for 70 years when he is the heir to the throne.

People moaning why he looked miserable and sad but didnt you stop to think maybe his crowning is like a goodbye to his mother and father ?

[joshuakampamba]

What a wonderful ceremony. The chior did such a marvelous job. They deserver a round of applause at the end.

[petercouillault]

A very moving moment when the crown was placed on His Majesty’s head. A huge responsibility lies ahead as King Charles takes on the mantle of his late and much loved mother Queen Elizabeth ii. Long may he reign and may he be granted peace and wisdom as he enters a new chapter in his life.

Potentially one of themost historical events ever caught on camera which we have the fortune to "witness" whenevrr we like the most. God save the King🇬🇧❤️

[AndyPipkinOfficial]

his mother would be so proud imagen the gravity fo the realization he must be going through plus all the family memories of his mother and grand farther

[AdrianSpencerElizalde]

The symbols and words used in the Coronation speak greatly of the magnitude of the King’s office and duty.

[JOEFABULOUS.]

Charles is being crowned in the same place William the Conqueror was crowned in 1066

[filmsforallnations]

Being King and Queen of England is such a big responsibility. I know Charles is going to make a great king!
