Charles III was crowned King at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony that mixed thousand-year-old ritual — anointing with oil, the same Coronation Chair used since 1308 — with a much smaller, more modest scale than his mother's coronation seventy years earlier. Rain fell on the procession route through London, and crowds still lined it for hours beforehand. It was the first coronation most people alive had ever seen happen in real time, rather than only in archive footage.
