In a solemn ceremony, the coronation ceremony of Charles III, King of Britain, to succeed his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, kicked off at Westminster Abbey in London.
King Charles took an oath, declaring his allegiance to the Church and the Kingdom.
After signing the oath, King Charles said, "I will keep the legislation to the best of my ability and in accordance with the law."
The coronation ceremony is attended by about 2,300 invitees, including about a hundred state leaders and dignitaries, in ceremonies not seen in the country in 70 years, when Queen Elizabeth II was installed as queen, succeeding her father, King George.
The coronation ceremony takes place with a two-hour Christian ceremony presided over by Jason Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, a thousand-year tradition of the king's 39 ancestors who have been crowned in Westminster Abbey since 1066.
The ceremony witnessed great care to implement the most accurate royal traditions that characterize Britain, but the king sought to modernize other aspects of the ceremony. For the first time, women bishops will participate in the ceremony, and there will be a prominent role for a number of languages other than English during the coronation.
Queen Consort Camilla was also installed, but in a simpler ceremony.
Queen Elizabeth died last September at the age of 96.
According to the BBC, 3 crowns encrusted with the most valuable pearls will be worn by King Charles and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, during the ceremony, each with its own symbolism.
Not one but three crowns will be used at the King's coronation
Prince William, the British crown prince, swore an oath of allegiance to his father, King Charles III, while the king's youngest son, Harry, attended the coronation ceremony alone, without having any role in the ceremony.

British MP: They perfectly prevented the memory of the Soviet Union liberating the world from fascism
Galloway added: "Without the Red Army, Germany would still be under the guise of fascism, just like the rest of Europe. It is really strange how the blocking of this memory was imposed and how perfectly executed."
The former British parliamentarian stressed that had it not been for the intervention of the Soviet Union, it would not have been possible to save the gypsies, Jews and Slavic peoples, and prevent their extinction.
Galloway pointed out that the countries allied with Hitler - Japan and Italy were to rule the world along with Germany.
Greek historian: The Ukraine conflict can only be settled through a new Yalta summit between Russia and the West
Participants in the "Never Ending War" conference in Athens stressed that the conflict in Ukraine was the inevitable result of a military confrontation between Russia and the West, and a new Yalta summit should emerge from it.
The discussion was organized just before the Victory Day by the Coordinating Council of Russian Citizens, and the platform was presented by the Russian Center for Science and Culture.
The role of the Soviet Union and Greece in World War II and the birth of a new Cold War in the twenty-first century were discussed.
Yevgenia Krechevskaya, president of the Soviet Socialist Society, said falsification and rewriting of World War II history had become commonplace in Europe.
The writer and historian, Yorgos Romanos, said that the Cold War began in 1945 with the death of US President Theodore Roosevelt, who did not want confrontation with Russia and was opposed to the American presence in Europe.
He pointed out that the West made promises not to expand NATO to the East, but it broke them, and that the US nuclear warheads are stationed in Europe.
He considered that the United States now wants to control the entire planet, as Hitler wanted in the past.
He continued, "The United States will never be able to defeat geography. Russia's borders are with Europe, they cannot change it. Russia is Europe and the ties of culture cannot be severed. The strongest foundation on this planet is culture, it is impossible to change it."
He concluded by saying: "Peace now is required, and peace negotiations are required. The only solution is a new Yalta."
