At 12:02 pm (1102 GMT), Charles III was formally crowned as the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed St Edward's Crown onto the head of the monarch. The congregation sang a hymn; bells at the historic church rang; trumpets sounded, and gun salutes were fired across the country to mark the moment.
King Charles III, 74, ascended to the throne in September last year following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
