Charles III proclaimed king in historic ceremony @BBCNews - BBC

Trumpets and cries of “God save the King” were heard as Charles III was proclaimed monarch during an elaborate ceremony at St. James's Palace.

Charles became king immediately after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, but a historic meeting formally confirmed his role on Saturday.

It is the first time that cameras have been inside this ceremony, the last of which took place over 70 years ago.

I felt like I was taking part in history. So wonderful and rare opportunity to watch this moment unfold. So British, indeed!

I’ve seen people’s comments about how we’d probably never see another british queen after queen elizabeth, but our generation would be one of the few to see both queen and king reining in our lifetime

[MJPamuru]

Is this how it happened through the centuries?? If so, it’s an incredible look into the past!

I'm touched the crowd did their own spontaneous hurrays.

Keeping these traditions and ceremonies alive allows us a glimpse of the past. Amazing.

I never imagined that at aged 16 I'd get to hear the words long live the king be said, it really is a historic moment, after 70 years its again long live the king .

In twenty years more people will claim they were the baby crying than the number of people who were actually there.

[KateCoppen]

One should actually watch the documentary on the kind of training and how hard core it is to become a guard. It's amazing.

Such historic event and BBC shot it in 720p resolution - thanks

Watching this struck a chord with me, goosebumps and all the feels. May King Charles III reign be long and prosperous for all of United Kingdom and those throughout his Realms and Territories.
May God Save the King!

This is the same palace Elizabeth I, 500 years earlier, prayed for deliverance, when the huge Spanish Armada attacked England. Strangely enough a huge storm wind blew up and most of the Spanish ships were sunk.

Facinating to see the rich culture of England. 🙌❤️🙏 We in the Philippines sympathizes for your loss.

The speaker did an amazing job! A lot of people would fumble under this much pressure, but he did his duty.

This is so beautiful . Although I am American, it brought tears to my eyes. Long live the king!

Keeping up these traditions... Such a good idea. Beautiful. I sincerely hope they keep the coronation ceremony as per tradition too.

Elizabeth was one of the last of the true royals and, she served her country well. She did it with great dedication and true honor,

This is the moment the queen's guard becomes the Kings guard and the entire British military becomes protector of the king and its citizens 💂‍♀️💪
