King Charles has been crowned at his Coronation, the first in the UK for 70 years.
Shortly afterwards, his wife Camilla was crowned Queen.
After the crown was placed on Charles' head, cries of "God Save the King" were heard inside and outside Westminster Abbey.
Gun salutes were made across the UK, the abbey bells rang for two minutes, and corks were popped on the Mall in London where thousands had gathered.
After the ceremony, the crowds who lined the procession route watched the newly-crowned couple make their way to Buckingham Palace in the Gold State Coach.
And on the Mall in front of the palace, the public peered from under their umbrellas to see the family's balcony appearance.
But plans for a military flypast were scaled back due to the "unsuitable weather conditions", the Ministry of Defence confirmed.
