The country’s flags were raised high by all in attendance and there was plenty of singing too.

And nothing conveys a sense of adoration for one’s country as endearingly as the iconic British national anthem.

During the coronation, everyone joined together to sing along all except for one very important person.

While the singing takes place, the monarch must remain silent.

The song is officially changed depending on whether there is a king or a queen on the throne.

This newest version is, therefore, sung in honor of King Charles III.

Sticking to tradition even on a tragic day, the new king remained silent.

However, his wife, Queen Camilla, did sing along next to him.
