Notice at 0:37 - Prince Louis, who is only 5 years old here, singing the words of the national anthem, without needing to read them off the booklet. He is only 5, but knows the national anthem off by heart, he even knows the largely unknown second part to it. Well done Prince Louis.

Seeing him wearing the imperial state crown and orb and sceptre in his hands what were on his mothers coffin it was a amazing moment the transition fully done

No one does pomp and ceremony like the UK. Absolutely the most beautiful ceremony I've ever seen in my life. The music brought great glory to God!

As a grown man, this made me cry, watching him realise the very moment he was born to fulfill.

The trumpet fanfare and the tapping of the drums make the British national anthem sound regal and majestic.

[tomygun]

I’m not even British but I’m singing along the anthem because it’s beautiful! 🇬🇧

Absolutely magnificent and majestic. Brilliant pomp and pageantry befitting the occasion. All the best to Their Majesties on the occasion of their Coronation. God Save the King!

The entire service was a lesson in excellence and So many admire it yet don´t seem able to imitate it.

It looks like he couldn't wait to get out. I bet it is the happiest moment he can look back on with pride.

Long live King Charles! It's been a long road for him to reach the honor that is rightfully his, arguably the highest honor on earth. I love to see the ladies who remember to courtsey. People reading this might be interested to know that the recessional march is one of the "Pomp and Circumstance" marches by Sir Edward Elgar (No. 4 as the announcer said).

No elected Head of State could ever encompass the absolutely unique and jaw dropping majesty of the of the Crown. As one who's not Brittish but has the privilege of living under a constitutional Monarchy (The Kingdom of the Netherlands) I understand the value of something that trandcents politics, that embodies the very fabric of society and serves as a link to the past and a bridge towards the future.

We are the special ones, for having reached the current age with such a precious and (in this era) unique institution still in tact. Cherrish it. It sets us appart from a world filled with the mundanity of common republics. Embrace our past, so we could remain our selfs in the future! #GodSaveTheKing!

Additional Edit:

A non partisan head of State is a blessing for any democratic society.
Especially when it is non elective in nature and derives it's place in society from historical and cultural ties to the nation it serves.

A politician is partisan by nature. It cannot be a unifying figure to all of society, by design.
There for a constitutional monarchy, with the popular support of the people, is infinitely more beneficial to it's society then any elected head of State could ever be.

It has nothing to do with the road to true sovereignty of a people, but everything to do with the long term health of a democratic society.
